"The tiny state of Rhode Island is home to even tinier Tillings Island--which witnessed the biggest event of Izabella Rae Haywood's life. For it was there, on Iz's sixth birthday, that her father left--and took her voice with him. Eight years later in the summer of 1974, Iz's mother is through with social workers, psychiatrists, and her daughter's silence. In one last attempt to return Iz's voice, the motley pair board the ferry to Tillings in hopes that the journey will help Izabella heal herself by piecing together splintered memories of the day her words fled"--Amazon.com.
