After Olive Sherwood is sexually abused by her best friend, she is plunged into a world of fear and rejection. One day. Her voice simply leaves her. She is too afraid to speak. Instead she communicates through her writing. Feeling alone and abandoned by her busy body father, judging classmates, and the prying eyes of the rest of the world, Olive feels the only person she can trust is her therapist. Through her entire struggle for psychological freedom, she depends on the faith of her therapist, her diary, and of course, herself.
