"Once, in an early conversation I had with her about her childhood,
she reminisced about a favorite doll her parents had given her when she
was seven. She named her Pearl, carried her everywhere for the next four
or five years, and considered her to be her best friend. The remarkable
thing about Pearl was that she was able to talk and understand
everything that was said to her. But Pearl never uttered a word in
Grace's presence. Not because she couldn't speak, but because she chose
not to."
