This book is a really quick read! It's about a little girl who's father is a scientist. The girl's Mother and Father are divorced. The Father kidnaps their daughter and does all sorts of scientific tests on the poor child. Unfortunately, her mother doesn't know where her daughter is nor does she know about the testing her ex-husband has been performing.
One day, the Father is murdered and the Mother is finally reunited with her long-lost daughter. Unfortunaltely, its to late.Due to her father's scientific testing, the girl has become something-like, in my opinion, a "walking zombi".

This story is about the Mother and daughter reuniting and how they develop a relationship together. The book shares the story of the Mother's ups and downs in trying to help her daughter escape the "zombi-like" transe and her struggle in trying to reverse the psychological damage that the daughter has endured because of the Father's scientific testing.

It's a very, very good book! I couldn't put it down!
