So B. It
by Sarah Weeks
Heidi is on a quest. She doesn't know when her
birthday is or who her father is. In fact, everything about Heidi and her
mentally disabled mother's past is a mystery.
When a strange word in her mother's vocabulary
begins to haunt her, Heidi sets out on a cross-country joutrney in search of
the secrets of her past. Far away form home, pieces of her puzzling history
come together. But it isn't until she learns to accept not knowing that
Heidi truly arrives.
"You couldn't really tell about Mama's brain just
from looking at her, but it was obvious as soon as she spoke.She had a very
high voive like a little girl, and she only knew twenty-three words. I know
this for a fact because we kept a list of the things Mama said tacked to the
inside of the kitchen cabinet. Most of the words were common ones, like
good
and more
and hot,
but there was one word only my mother said,
soof."
