This is the story of Charlotte Elizabeth, an accomplished writer of the early nineteenth century and her protege, a deaf and dumb Irish boy. A vivid picture of the Ireland of those times emerges in Charlotte's writings, a troubled Ireland she was reluctant to leave...Matured observation led her to say, "A quenched Gospel was the origin of all Ireland's calamities and a rekindled Gospel can alone restore light, alone bring peace and induce prosperity."
