Summary:
"Eighteen-year-old
Dot
Grey
doesn't hate people; she's just not especially fond of their company. It's 1997, and she's just left home in favour of a dank, cold basement, where she lives with several small animals, including a chorus of crickets, a family of sowbugs (they came with the apartment), a hairless rat, and an injured crow. Her job at the animal shelter is her refuge - so long as she can avoid her father's phone calls. He's trying to get
Dot
to visit her mother, but
Dot
knows there's no point. No one ever understood her like her mum, who helped
Dot
channel her vibrating fingers into Morse code, their own private language. But her bright, artistic mother was terribly injured a year ago and
Dot
can't reach her, even with her tapping fingers. Left with only a father who refuses to face the truth, she focuses on saving the little lives at the shelter. When Joe starts working there, everyone thinks he has a crush on
Dot
.
Dot
thinks he's just awkward and kind. He shows his good heart when they rescue an entire litter of puppies together, and
Dot
finds herself warming up to him. But Joe waits too long to tell her his deepest secret, and soon she is forced to deal with two losses. In the end,
Dot
's weird way of looking at the world is the one thing that will, against the odds, help her connect with it."--From publisher.
