| 520 | |a 2001. Only months after the death of her husband, Angela is devastated when she is ejected from her graduate program in linguistics at Harvard University. Soon after, she suffers a miscarriage. The young widow and her four-year-old child move into her mother's house. She finds underpaid work at the Center, a fledgling organization utilizing an experimental therapy aimed at helping nonspeaking patients with motor impairments. She works closely with Sam, a twenty-eight-year-old patient who has been confined to his bedroom for most of his life. Sam takes to the technology-- and so does Angela. Their relationship turns intimate, but when Sam's family discovers their relationship, they brings charges. -- adapted from jacket | ||
