From an acclaimed article in The New Yorker comes the true story of a young woman rescued from a childhood of epic abuse. Having spent her early years strapped to a chair, Genie, when discovered, had to begin her new life with the rudiments--how to walk, talk, even chew--and provided scientists with insight into a deeper mystery: what it means to be human.
