Advances in developmental psychology dispel the popular belief that children should be seen and not heard. And as news reports surface of danger, parents are anxious to hear what their kids have to say. When a child from Wee Care Nursery School mentions something suspicious about his former teacher, Kelly, the authorities leap into action. Accusations multiply, and suddenly, parents aren’t just listening to their children; they might unwittingly be telling them what to say.

That is, until she — like Frodo — gets swept up in a battle, as panic sweeps the nation over a surge in Satanism.
