[W]ell-written, charming.... [Valentine] writes gracefully about loss and sadness and how time and good people can help to heal the wounds of a hurting child. The author also handles mental illness and the damage it can cause a family with tact and care. —Jennifer Mills, Shorewood-Troy Lib., IL
Library Journal


In a novel rich in mythology and childhood secrets, a girl searches for her voice in the Rhode Island town where she stopped speaking at age 6.... This dreamy coming-of-age mystery unfolds in tantalizing waves with keen insight and lush prose.
