The "main" character is Calli, a little girl who hasn't spoken in 3 years. As the story delves into the family's history and secrets, we learn the reason for that mutism. So, it's a story of secrets, abuse, wrong assumptions, and deadly misunderstandings. Trigger warning if you don't like child abuse/ child abduction stories. Though not graphic, it's definitely the backbone of this book.
I enjoyed the audio version performed by a cast of readers - very well done!
Moderate: Child abuse and Miscarriage
