Mencken Barnes has only fragmented memories of life outside the small room where she has spent most of her existence. Time comes in brief stretches of consciousness she calls awakenings. She doesn't know why she was taken, where she is held, or whether anyone is coming for her.
Outside her cell, life has been rebuilt on silence and control.
But something in Mencken refuses to stay quiet. A buried truth pushes her forward. And in a world that has forgotten what it was, that truth may be the last thing that matters.
