Melanie and Tyler's baby girl Chrissie has just been bought into their large family. Everything about their lives seems perfect, and as though everyone should be jealous of them, but as we travel with them through the journey of parenthood we find there are many bumps in the road, which put their 'perfect' family on hold. But after all, who can really have a 'perfect' life?

It had always been just Meadow and her mother. Her father left as soon as he found out he was going to have a child, leaving her mother to raise Meadow alone. They weren't a rich family, and so when Meadow falls pregnant at just seventeen, she's knows it's the best thing for everyone to give the baby up for adoption. Or so she tried to convince herself. She moved to America to live with her grandma while she was pregnant, to avoid being bullied by everyone that knew her. She planned to find the baby a family in America, and then move back to London to start a new life in college, but things aren't that simple. Throughout her entire pregnancy she told herself that she couldn't raise a baby, and that giving it away to another family would be what's best for the child, but when she finds herself in labour a month early, she starts to doubt her decision, and when she meets a girl named Raine, she comes to the conclusion that she can't give away the child she carried for eight months. She moves back to London with her baby, regularly writing to Raine. She starts college, but she didn't expect to make friends, or fall in love with her baby's father all over again. She spent her time in America getting over her boyfriend and makes the decision to not tell him he's a daddy. But as they grow closer again, it begins to prove harder being the mother of a secret child.

Imagine what it would be like to have one of your senses taken away. You don't want to think about it, right? Although this isn't the case for Alexa Betancourt, it's very similar. Alexa had a horrible experience when she was twelve, leaving her mute. She's never able to speak, and to remind her of this she has a hideous scar on her neck that she constantely tries to hide. She went to a special needs school for four years, but decided she wanted to live as normal a life as possible, so she enrolled in a public school. People don't pay much attention to the quiet new girl at first, but after a while people learn of why she's always silent. Alexa makes new friends, and becomes really close with a boy named Daniel, who seems to understand her completely. He's just like her really, except with a voice. He has a disability of his own, and when Alexa finds out they grow incredibly closer... Especially when Daniel's parents start to get involved in whatever they have...
