"Away With Words" takes the reader on a journey of discovery with fifteen year old Charlie. His dyslexia has made him cautious and insecure but this summer life has stepped in and forced him to deal with things he never expected to. He must learn to navigate new and old relationships, a new city and to open up to others, including his father who has not been in his life for many years. The experience leaves Charlie untethered and challenged but ultimately stronger and wiser.
