Your husband thinks your daughter's an angel. You know different. Seven-year-old Hanna has never said a word. Although she knows her daddy loves and understands her - and she loves him with all her heart - she doesn't feel she can trust her mummy. Willful and clever, she chooses not to speak, making her thoughts clear in other ways. But her silence is putting a huge strain on her family. Suzette loves her daughter, but after years of tantrums, difficulties with babysitters and schools, and Hanna's markedly different behavior towards her and her husband, she starts to fear the strained time alone with her. Suzette's health problems - precarious at the best of times - start to play up. But while her husband is sympathetic, he can't see that his beautiful wife and adorable daughter are engaged in a silent battle. Then Hanna speaks for the first time, alone, to Suzette. But what she says is.
