Genie: An Abused Child's Flight from Silence
reviewed on + 19 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 2


Intense true story of a girl who spent the first 13 years of her life strapped to a chair in the back bedroom. An interesting study of how she tried to learn to adapt to the world, a world she knew nothing about. Much focus on the challenge of teaching her to communicate, since she had never learned to talk.
