In the silence of her past, a promise still echoes. Elly Samantha Caelthorn lost her parents-and her hearing-on her fifth birthday. Raised in abuse, she fought her way out, survived college, and now thrives as a field reporter.

As her past and present collide, Elly must decide if she'll keep surviving-or finally start living.
