December Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Eleven-year-old Isabelle hasn't spoken in nine months, and as December begins the situation is getting desperate.

Her mother has stopped work to devote herself to her daughter's care.

Four psychiatrists have already given up on her, and her school will not take her back in the New Year.

Her parents are frantically trying to understand what has happened so they can help their child, but they cannot escape the thought of darker possibilities.

What if Isabelle is damaged beyond their reach? Will she never speak again? Is it their fault? As they spiral around Isabelle's impenetrable silence, she herself emerges as a bright young girl in need of help yet too terrified to ask for it.

By the talented young author of FIREWORKS, this is a compelling, ultimately uplifting novel about a family in crisis, showing the delicate web that connects a husband and wife, parents and children, and how easily it can tear.
