Ember Lynn Grace is nothing like her family. They do nothing but talk. Ember does everything but talk. They obsess over 'feelings'. Ember doesn't understand the concept. And it's been that way for thirteen years. And the worst part is, nobody even notices. So it's no surprise that, when her family goes out to a nice dinner, Ember stays behind. But when someone knocks on her door at three in the morning, Ember is surprised to learn that her family hasn't come back, and they never will. So, without any other choice, she is sent to the city orphanage. And she is adopted by the only person she has ever met who truly wants to hear her voice. Tom Clarke of Area 11.All Rights Reserved
