Andrea is a healthy, cheerful boy who has never heard a sound, a noise, a piece of music since the day he was born. His mother tells their story in a voice that is both poetic and unflinching—a chronicle of her fierce determination to give Andrea an ordinary life. She battles adversity and the narrow-minded arrogance of experts who had written off Andrea's deafness as total and irreversible.
This daily struggle will lead Andrea to discover the pleasure and the desire to listen, to speak, to be heard.
It is a hard and tenderhearted story about a choice to trust, to be free—a bold and intimate journey that goes straight to the heart.
