Since the tragic death of her father, eight-year-old Sasha Nielson has not spoken a word. Her mother, Rainey, has taken her to doctors and therapists, but medical science has not found the cause or the cure for Sasha’s silence. There are days when her behavior is baffling, even potentially dangerous, particularly during lightning storms. The authorities threaten to take her away and time is running out.
One man sees beyond Sasha’s actions. Matt Macinnes is a gifted professor of ancient languages, a man who senses that there is a key to Sasha’s silence, that she may in fact be guarding a secret of such profound and terrifying dimensions that it staggers the imagination. Could this All-American little girl truly be carrying around the restless soul of an exiled Celtic queen of old?
THE STARRY CHILD is a spellbinding adventure, a tale as timeless as the mystic legends of the ancients, yet as vibrant and alive as those whose fates now hang in the balance. It’s the story of a young widow who learns that her own destiny is forever tied to an undying love held in trust in the heart of a little girl.
