"People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence"
-- Paul Simon (1964)

Jacob was not like other boys John and Marta had know. He did not speak, not to them and not to others, but communicate, he did. Jacob's music and artwork opened a door into his soul and John and Marta peered inside. They encouraged his creativity, fostered his enthusiasm for finding happiness in the simplest of things, and they grew to love-- the boy on the porch. This book will warm your heart.
