Mockingbird Don't Sing
From the age of one and a half to thirteen, Katie, was imprisoned by her  parents.  Locked in a room, tied and immobile, bound to a "potty-chair", Katie endured  years of isolated silence punctuated by brutality.  When Katie’s case finally came to  public attention she was moved to a hospital in Los Angeles, where it was discovered she  had never been taught to speak.                                                                    Katie was an  anomaly, a  modern day Wild Child. Medical and psychological doctors descended on the  girl in droves, often with selfish motivations in this heart-breaking story.                                          With stunning care to detail Mockingbird Don’t Sing tells Katie’s story of imprisonment,  discovery and her difficult road to joining the human family as a beautiful young woman.
