Book Talk:
Ben is a young boy who lives in Minnesota. After his mother died last year, he found himself orphaned and living with his Aunt and Uncle. When he sneaks back into his old house late at night, he is struck by lightning while attempting to make a phone call. The result of the lightning strike is that Ben is now deaf. Confused and desperate to find some link to his mysterious father, Ben runs away to New York City to seek out any information he can find.
Rose is a young woman who lives in the big city. Confined to her house because she is deaf, she yearns to be free. Taking a chance, Rose flees her house and runs away to New York City, searching for something... but she doesn't know what.
Telling two simultaneous stories, separated by 60 years, the story will leave you wonderstruck as you realize how Rose and Tom's personal stories begin to weave together and become one wonderful story.... all tied together by a museum in New York City.
