Maybe.Debbie only wants two things: to teach Krista to talk and to be accepted back into the group where she used to be-before her dad went to war.How can she help Krista understand English, much less speak it, if no one allows the poor kid to learn sign language? And will Debbie continue to keep quiet under the Mean Queen’s snarky abuse, or will she screw up the courage to speak through her self-imposed silence?
