The book recounts the story of Elaine Schultz, born with a condition known as aphasia (loss of ability to understand or express speech) and her journey through her childhood years to adulthood. Her parents encounter difficulties along the way with medical professionals, school administrators, teachers, and others as they search for the best possible educational experiences for their daughter. And along the way, they also discover much about their daughter and themselves.--Publisher.
