Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder characterized by a person's inability to speak in certain social settings such as at school, work, or in the community. Eileen has had this disorder for her entire life. She's selfless, kind and has a heart that is filled with pure gold. Navigating through her teen years has proven to be smooth sailing for the most part. Ashtray O'Neil has spent his entire life living each day as if it were his last. Being a drug dealer meant that he had to keep his shit together 24/7. Ironically, he and his older brother played good cop, bad cop, you can only guess which one was Ash. Both teens have yet to let anybody in. They're too prideful, too confident in being alone. But what happens when fate has them meet at wrong time, in the wrong place? *THERE IS ONLY ONE TRANSLATION OF THIS BOOK AND IT IS BY @moxxni and it is in German! Hopefully my story reaches more readers :)*
