The sound of silence is deafening. Avery Spencer; the seventeen year old girl raped and left on the beach the summer after her Junior year. Now a Senior and still recovering from the assault, the last thing Avery wants is to have her athletic brother drag one of his friends to live in their house while their parents disappear to another country for work for the next couple months. And with the constant reality of seeing her abuser every day at school, Avery must cope with the changes on her own. What she doesn't expect is to actually find a safety net in her brother's best friend, one that involves finally being able to open up about what happen. But with more than one person in fear of what might happen if it does, Avery is thrown into a chaotic mess of wrong and right, flashbacks, wayward support groups, and finding her safe haven in the place she least expects it.
