The First Book of Adeline: Freedom

Adeline hesitated, eyes darting around the ground briefly before nodding. Ophelia's face lit up with understanding, and she stated, "You were on your way to come let us out, weren't you?" Adeline nodded again, holding her bundle out to the two girls, eyes fixed on her own feet. Ophelia and Isabel glanced at each other, and Ophelia said, "Why don't you come with us?"

After being rescued from a terrible situation in her own home, Adeline, a mute girl, sets out to figure out her own place in the world, and to stand on her own two feet.
