Looks excellent.

Picked up by Ann at our meetup today.

Released for the 2011 Never Judge a Book By Its Cover Release Challenge, Week 16, Words About Light.

Thanks so much, Maggie! I don't think I've read anything by Torey Hayden since the early 1990's or so, and I used to enjoy her work. The fact that I've worked with kids in a similar situation, though not in such a professional capacity should make this even more interesting.

I've read the synopsis, and it's already nagging at me that the book is called Twilight Children when one of the clients she worked with is 87 years old! I'm sure that will be a fascinating story, though!

It was great to see you yesterday! Thanks, again, for passing this on!

A young girl who was kidnapped by her father, and who may have suffered abuse so horrific that it left her unable to speak about that period of time, a bright, engaging young boy who seems unable to speak to anyone other than his mother, and whose demanding grandfather expects him to be "fixed" immediately, and an 82-yr-old stroke patient who is unable to speak; these are the voices of the subtitle.

This was such a compelling read, that I finished it in a single day. As always, Hayden writes with compassion and insight.

Enjoy!
