It was humiliating!

As a teenager, Sara Eaton had got around her disabling stutter by becoming a ventriloquist. Maybe she couldn't talk for herself, but with one of her dolls on her knee, she was the life of any party.

Now Sara was a child psychologist. She had long since conquered her stutter and only used her dolls to draw out bashful children.

Then William Tyson walked into her life. Her heart flipped and visions of wedding bells danced through her head. But at the same time, Sara wanted to crawl into a hole and hide. Because suddenly she was stuttering again--as badly as she had as a teenager.
