Deaf since the age of nine and motherless since she was eleven, Marie Zimmer - narrator of SWEET HEARTS - is a mute witness to her family's turmoil, the only one bold enough to tell the tale of Flint and Cecile, her sister's dangerous children. At sixteen, Flint has spent eight years of his life in juvenile detention. Half child, half full-grown criminal, he escapes from the Landers School for Boys and, with his little sister Cecile, strikes out alone on a desperate journey south to the Crow Indian Reservation where their ancestors once lived. Is Cecile Flint's hostage or his accomplice? Only Marie, the children's deaf aunt, understands the strange logic of their crimes, their desire and fear, their devotion to each other. Fusing family myth with American history, SWEET HEARTS is the devastating story of one woman's silent struggle to unravel the web of violence that has trapped her family for generations. In the fierce light of her imagination, Marie Zimmer weaves the past through the present, inventing a language of signs to illuminate the mysterious ways in which we are all connected.
