Silent Words

Melodie has everything. Family, friends, a good scholarship, and supportive teachers. There's only one problem, she's deaf.
When her parents brought her home from the hospital, they didn't think much of her silence. But after three months with only small hiccups, they grow concerned and take her to a specialist only to their devastation find out that their daughter is deaf. Nobody ever said that raising a deaf daughter would be easy. Sure, she was the light of their world, but communicating would be a lot harder than they thought.
After years of difficulty, and with the help of supportive family, Melodie successfully finished high school and enrolls at a university to master her art skills and become a well-known baker. Nothing to it, right? Until she meets, more like bumps into a guy on her first day. Little did she know, that that day would change her life completely.

Asher Atkins doesn't know how in the world he got accepted at Cali University. It's not like his GPA is something to brag about. And the fact that he has cancer is also a taboo subject. The cancer has been spreading like wildfire on his right arm, his only two options would be either amputation and stop playing guitar all together, or rely on false hope and continue doing chemotherapy. His second year of college was a rather hard hit. He needs a miracle and not just any miracle, he needs healing. One day, a particular girl catches his attention, her fire red hair and gray eyes are nothing like he'd seen before. One thing that surprises him is that everytime he talks to her, she always ends up running away. Is his cancer starting to scare people away too?

A quiet and excluded girl versus a loud and obnoxious boy. Will these two find a way to connect and help each other through their difficulty? Or will they forever side step each other and ignore the feelings that have been stirred within them?
