'The stars shine brightest out of the deepest dark'
Hester is a young girl of dark beginnings and few words. She is
kept at home by her painfully reclusive parents and allowed no
contact with the world outside the front door. And yet Hester finds
joy in life's ordinary moments -- to her, everything is an
Alice-in-Wonderland discovery.
But from the moment Hester is forced to attend school, she quickly
learns that there are some things she cannot tell her parents. She
knows that 'a secret has no sound; it lives in your darkest corner
where it sits and waits'. Until the day the secret can no longer be
contained and Hester reclaims her freedom with one final, powerful act.
