Abandoned by her parents and raised by dogs, fourteen-year-old Wendy has been adopted into her uncle ’s family. Her canine upbringing makes it difficult for anyone to truly accept her, but it is her inability to comprehend human language which gains their trust. Slowly Wendy uncovers a different kind of abandonment in her new home, for it is a place of secrete frustrations, until an event makes her presence in the family become more crucial than ever.
