The inspiring true story of a family's struggle to reach across the barriers of silence. When doctors give their baby girl a clean bill of health following a rubella scare during pregnancy, Lynn's parents can scarcely contain their relief. But over a year later, doctors to confirm their worst fears: Lynn is profoundly deaf. Warned by experts that only by learning to lip-read will Lynn ever be able to speak and enter the world of the hearing, her parents begin the agonizing task of teaching their toddler to distinguish between a myriad of look-alike lip movements for words she has never heard and can't understand. But as school age approaches and language takes on new importance, Lynn's pent-up frustrations begin to explode into violent temper tantrums. Her parents meet a deaf couple and, realizing that Lynn may never talk, they make a courageous decision that flies in the face of everything they have been told by doctors, audiologists, psychologists and teachers. The result is a moving story of how a small deaf girl breaks through the chains of ignorance and prejudice that have held her mute for five years.
