Description
Melody is a girl with a photographic memory and a mind brimming with ideas, but cerebral palsy has kept her silent and trapped within her own body. Considered by many to be 'mentally retarded,' she yearns to communicate her thoughts and feelings to the world. When a revolutionary new device offers her the chance to speak, Melody finally finds her voice and begins to challenge the limitations others have placed upon her. This powerful story explores themes of disability, prejudice, and the indomitable human spirit's quest for connection and understanding.
