   Summary

   Ten months after losing his mother, Ilya is sent across the ocean to a Canadian boarding school.

   He doesn’t know the language. He doesn’t know anyone. He doesn’t know when, or if, he’ll ever go back home.

   Fortunately for him, Shane Hollander is remarkably comfortable with silence.
