Summary
"As a young girl in the 1960's, Athena lost her hearing to a fever but was misdiagnosed by the town physician as "profoundly retarded". Institutionalized for over thirty years before finally being released, Athena is awkward and bookish. She is learning to integrate into mainstream society for the first time in her life, where nothing is quite what it seems and nothing works quite like she thinks it should. Athena researches her past, trying to understand the people that took care of her and what led to the huge mistake of her being institutionalized in the first place. At the same time, Athena tries to find a way to live with the man who was her lover in the institution, uncovering some surprises along the way."--
