Black-eyed Suzie by Susan Shaw

Black-eyed Suzie by Susan Shaw is about Suzie, a twelve year old girl who has suffered something traumatic which leaves her feeling as though she is trapped inside a box, unable to talk. As a result, Suzie ends up in a mental hospital where she learns about trust and eventually finds her voice.

I read this book in a matter of hours. I just couldn't put it down for wanting to find out what happened to Suzie. Susan Shaw did a fantastic job of helping the reader see inside the mind of a hurting child. I found this novel to be compelling and an excellent read.
