 This is a fictional missing person mystery, but I appreciate this book for making me think. I was ignorant about a couple important points about communication with people who can't speak, and I am grateful to feel like I have a better understanding now. Just because someone doesn't have the motor functioning to be able to speak doesn't mean they're non verbal, doesn't mean that they don't have words, and doesn't mean they don't have agency.
