Lindsay Scott was a famous child actress until she turned eleven and started inexplicably hearing anything that was said about her. She had what appeared to be a public nervous breakdown and left the public eye. Lindsay and her father moved to a small town in Illinois to a house that strangely shields her from the voices. But it's five years later and the fact that she rarely leaves the house has somehow been discovered by the tabloids, which are now reporting that her father is keeping her prisoner. When two well-meaning local teenagers kidnap Lindsay in an effort to save her, Lindsay's life is once again turned upside down and she is forced to reevaluate her options.
This story takes a while to get to the point, and there are parts that feel a little bit slow, but overall, the concept is good and goes in a direction that I didn't expect. The characters are also fairly well developed and I was interested to see what would happen with them; in fact, I was a little disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a sequel since I was curious to find out more about what happens to Lindsay after the conclusion of the book. (However, the story is not left hanging at the end; of the the major plot points are resolved in some way.) I would recommend this book to fantasy fans who enjoy stories about ordinary people with special abilities, or stories in the real world.
