Review & Description
As moving as Oliver Sacks' Awakenings--a mother breaks her 20-year silence. But is it too late?
USA Today bestselling author, Jaqueline Girdner turns her poignant wit to a new novel, Speaking in Jitterbug.
Girdner weaves the heartfelt tale of Charlotte Vogel, trapped in a mute, unmoving state by schizophrenia for two decades. When she responds to a new medication by walking, talking and even dancing, her four grown daughters and devoted husband, Gus, are overjoyed--yet thrown into turmoil. Speaking in Jitterbug tells their story with wry humor and deep feeling.
