After witnessing a shooting that nearly took a boy's life, fifteen-year-old Makena is forever changed. The trauma leaves her silent. To heal, she leaves Chicago behind and moves to California, cutting ties with almost everyone she knew... including the boy she saved. Now, years later, Makena returns to the city that stole her voice. And fate, cruel and romantic as ever, leads her back to Dayvon-the same boy whose pain first shattered her. He's no longer the terrified teen on the pavement, but neither of them have truly healed from that night. This is a story of second chances, broken people clinging to beauty, and a love so fragile it might just break them all over again.
