Lauri is a dedicated young teacher for the deaf. Her past conceals a wound still unhealed, her present is a facade, and she uses her career to hide her loneliness. Drake, daytime TV's most popular star, has two heartaches-the daughter he believes will never have a normal life and the dead wife he can't forget. Jennifer is the beautiful hearing-impaired child who may become a pawn between the man and the woman she needs most. Now, in the heart of a New Mexico arts community, the three may become a family...but only if each one dares to find a voice and lets his or her fears and needs speak for themselves.

From AudioFile:

Brown has developed two likable characters, teacher Laura Parrish and the father of one of her pupils, Drake Rivington. Joyce Bean's impeccable and compassionate delivery adds intensity to this story of a deaf teacher's love for her young pupil, Jennifer. Listeners will be enchanted by Jennifer's struggle to learn to sign and speak, as well as the developing romance between Drake and Laura amid a gorgeous New Mexico setting. Using a bright timbre and various pitches, Bean reflects the many characters involved in this sparkling romance. S.C.A. � AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright � AudioFile, Portland, Maine
