Desc: "Skylar is my name tragically." Sixteen-year-old Skylar is witty empathetic sensitive--and mute. Skylar hasn't uttered a single word since his mother died eleven years ago a senseless tragedy he's grateful he doesn't have to talk about. When Skylar's father mysteriously vanishes one summer afternoon Skylar is placed in the temporary custody of his only remaining relative an estranged grandmother living on an Indian reservation in the middle of arid Arizona. Adapting to a brand new culture is the least of Skylar's qualms. Because Skylar's mother did not die a peaceful death. Skylar's mother was murdered eleven years ago on the Nettlebush Reserve. And her murderer left behind a son. And he is like nothing Skylar has ever known.
