Publisher's Synopsis
When she is seven years old, Anna witnesses the tragic drowning of her younger sister, Megan. The tragedy haunts her and her parents, and in the aftermath, Anna becomes convinced she can communicate with her sister through sign language. Thirty years later, Anna, now a teacher of deaf children, adopts Adrea, a young deaf girl who forces her to face the trauma she's carried inside her since she lost her sister so long ago. The result is a transformation of heart and soul that Anna never dared to hope for.
With this debut novel, originally published by Trumpeter in 2008, Rachel Stolzman Gullo has crafted a moving and poetic testament to love's power to transcend grief, pain and the limits of human language.
