“Joe’s nine and home is hard. School is even harder. He breaks stuff: pencils, chairs, rules. One
thing he won’t break is his silence.
Heather’s fifty-seven. She’s got a comfortable life and a comfortable home. But once a week,
every week, she spends a very uncomfortable hour – with Joe.
Where will this journey of hours and weeks take them?”
