Publisher's summary

From the award-winning author of A Matter of Mercy and The Testament of Harold’s Wife comes a beautifully written exploration of how the language of healing can transcend seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Eve, a chimpanzee orphaned by poachers and used for experiments in a medical lab, can finally lead a new life. When she arrives at the Dayton Zoo, Kate and Marc must overcome professional differences to build a relationship with her. Forced to work together, Kate and Marc find common ground when they discover they both are the sole caregivers for their mothers, one who has been deaf her entire life, and the other who recently lost her ability to process words. After a life-threatening crisis occurs, can they find the courage—and the shared language—to reach across these silent divides to heal the ones they love?

An engaging story

Kendra Murray is an excellent narrator. She manages the different characters competently and her narration reflects the emotional content of the story. I enjoyed listening to this and am looking for other books narrated by Kendra.
