"Ada has no answer - except her fists.  She never speaks.  Her silence has earned her the reputation of "slow", and even she believes it.
Born and raised in the hardscrabble Appalachian Mountains, six-grader Ada Garland has lost her only relatives there to her old enemy, the cold, cold wind Death.  It is that cold, cold wind that has blown her north, to the inner city of Chicago, where she now lives with her aunt.  And it is Ada's determination not to give in to what has happened that makes her so strong with her fists - and in her silence."
