Because of a terrible curse, Astrid Lucia will never speak to another soul for as long as she lives. Poor and despised, she spends her days alone in the woods or peddling her unusual wares in the village, until she meets a potter named Bernard. He quickly becomes her best customer, but Bernard is interested in far more than Astrid Lucia's wares. The two form an unlikely friendship based on mutual need.

But when Bernard asks Astrid Lucia to marry him, everything changes. Saying yes would mean one uttered word could ruin her marriage and future forever. Saying no would mean losing Bernard and her only hope of home and happiness. Astrid Lucia is no fool. She's determined to stay speechless for the rest of her days and live happily ever after with the potter, but curses have a way of unraveling the best of intentions.
