Mockingbird Don't Sing plot
"She was little more than a wild animal. And only one woman had the gift to heal her."
When she was one and a half, Katie was locked up by her mentally disturbed parents. They kept her in a small room until she was thirteen. She was strapped to a child seat, where she lived in deathly silence for years. A silence that was occasionally interrupted by atrocities. In 1970, her case came to light and Katie, who was completely emaciated, was transferred to a hospital in Los Angeles. There it was discovered that she had never learned to speak. She was an anomaly... a feral child in today's society.
