Publisher's Synopsis
Following the tragedy of her sister's death, Isabelle moves from her home in California to her birthplace in Mexico to take over the running of the family business. There, in her sister's dilapidated house, she is woken in the night by a wild child - a thing with no name, who could just be the niece she never knew she had. So she sets herself the task of turning it into a human being, named Karen. To start, she must teach Karen her first word: Me. And then begins the greatest journey of all, as Karen learns how to become 'Me'. It will take Isabelle to the bottom of the ocean, to the farthest reaches of the planet...and into the heart of the world.
