You must read this book. I'm only on page 14, and it's just amazing.
It's about a little girl (written when she was nearly 11, through the very small amount of physical control she does have) who was born without the ability to communicate back to the world. Her parents discovered her mental and communicative abilities after many years.
My VP in charge of global R&D suggested this book to me.
I have to stop reading it at work or I'll be crying.
Here's a snippet on page 14:
Everybody uses words to express themselves. Except me. And I bet most people don't realize the real power of words.
But I do.
Thoughts need words. Words need a voice.
I love the smell of my mother's hair after she washes it.
I love the feel of the scratchy stubble on my father's face before he shaves.
But I've never been able to tell them.
This resonates so much with me and talking to Ani.

Apparently this is a work of fiction. It still doesn't affect the resonance it has within me.
