Church members are divided—either she has a message from God or is possessed by a demon. Social workers interrupt an exorcism to wrest Hannah away from her momma, who has a tenuous grip on reality. Hidden in protective foster care for twelve years, she loses all contact with her mother and remains mute by choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Hannah leaves foster care at age eighteen to search for Momma, a national debate rages over her silence. A religious movement awaits her prophecy and celebrates her return. A left-wing group, Voices for the Voiceless, cites Hannah as its inspiration. The nation comes unhinged and the conflict spills into the streets when presidential candidates chime in with their opinions on Hannah—patriotic visionary or dangerous radical. A remnant still believes she is evil and seeks to dispatch her from this world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHannah stands at the intersection of anarchists and fundamentalists, between power politics and an FBI investigation. All she wants is to find her momma, a little peace and quiet, and maybe some pancakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne word would put an end to the chaos... if only Hannah can find her voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINNER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Summer 2014 -- Best Book in Fiction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eHannah’s Voice\u003c\/em\u003e is a beautiful story, and I’m going to tell you about it, but before I do: seriously, you guys, read it.
