Virgil isn't one for talking. He prefers weaving a needle and thread through fabric in the solace of his room, creating dresses of all shapes and sizes. Then, every week, he goes to the local market to sell them. One day, he makes a few new friends, and he realizes that his own relationships may not be so good. Warning: this books handles elements of controlling relationships. If that's a trigger for you, I suggest you not read this book.
