Synopsis: Publisher: Creature of the Mind? The strange little girl who would not -- or could not -- speak seemed to come from nowhere, only to vanish again. Only Grace Latimer saw her. Everyone else denied her existence, and remarked pointedly on the fact that Grace Latimer had recently been a patient in a mental institution. But Grace knew the child was real -- real and in danger. She set out not only to prove herself right, but also to rescue the little girl. And she plunged herself and the man who loved her desperately but hopelessly into an abyss of danger more evil than any she had imagined.
