What if your most brilliant work was also your greatest delusion?
Dr. Miriam Starks is a psychology professor whose orderly academic life shatters when a student speaks in tongues during class. The sounds are impossible-linguistically complex, unnaturally structured, and utterly captivating.>Miriam abandons psychology. Switches to linguistics. Spends fifteen years chasing this single moment. She infiltrates Pentecostal churches, recording and transcribing glossolalia with compulsive precision. She documents patterns no linguist has ever seen. Structures that shouldn't exist. A consistency that defies rational explanation. She calls it the Mother Tongue-and she's convinced it's real.
Then she begins speaking it herself. Her mouth reshapes around impossible phonemes. Speech and sexuality fuse in ways that feel transcendent and horrifying. Hours vanish as she speaks and transcribes, building an elaborate glossary while her life disintegrates around her.
Her doctors see psychosis. Mania. Delusion.
>But underneath her academic obsession lies something more personal-an attraction to the student who started everything, a desire Miriam refuses to acknowledge even as it warps into something darker. When she finally reaches out years later, the response destroys her entire narrative. The question that haunts every page: Has Miriam discovered something ancient and terrible, or has her brilliant mind fractured beyond repair? As antipsychotic medications battle forces that might be supernatural-or might be entirely in her head-Miriam faces an impossible choice: pursue understanding at the cost of her sanity, or walk away from fifteen years of work.
From her life's greatest discovery.
