In 1977, twelve-year-old Dulcie, who's been mute since her mother's suicide, is dumped "like a stray pup without a basket" at her aunt's house in rural Ohio. There, with the help of others, she slowly begins to heal and find her voice again. Dulcie is a richly drawn protagonist struggling with enormous sadness, but debut novelist Schoenbohm's light, folksy writing keeps the story's tone hopeful.
