When winter freezes everything solid, how do you find the warmth to speak up? Eleven-year-old Maya used to have a voice that hummed with desert heat. But in a town buried in snow, her words have frozen solid. To everyone else, she is the "silent girl," trapped behind a window of silver frost. Everything changes when Maya follows desperate paw prints into the woods. A lost dog is stranded on the cracking ice, and staying quiet is no longer an option. To save a life, Maya must break her own silence and let her voice roar.
