A deeply romantic story set against a background of terrible prejudice and astonishing violence. Snatched from her home by a violent predator who cuts out her tongue to silence her, Judith becomes an outcast to her community. In silence she must observe both the injustice of the judgements against her and, almost worse, the loss of the man she has always loved.
Judith writes the story of her life with a quiet dignity recording the bravery of one girl and the courage it takes to stand up for the truth. ~ Julia Eccleshare
