The author of Edgar Allan and Lisa, Bright and Dark returns with a compelling tale firmly fixed in historical accuracy. In 1880 Martha's Vineyard, Merry Skiffe, profoundly deaf, is accused of murder. The 12-year-old faces two seemingly impossible tasks--proving that the stoniness of deafness can be penetrated while also trying to prove her own innocence before the law.
