Soft Silence | β | unedited
"Being mute isn't a disability. It just means that God loves you so much that He took away your voice so that you don't hurt others verbally. You see, He doesn't want you to do what others are doing to you." β β β β β β β When Sierra Bloom suffers a tragedy that costs her both her family and her voice, she shuts down every bit of emotion and passion within her and brings out a new and cold her that doesn't like being around people and things that are easy to get attached to. Enter David Hale. Cheerful, bright, friendly -a shocking contrast to her cold, closed off personality. Not only does David do things she dislikes, he also does not know when to give up on her. What is Sierra supposed to do when he keeps bringing out the old her and makes her forget the tragedy she caused? The answer is obvious; shut him out and run away. That's the solution.... right? β β β β β β β β This book was written in 2013, back when I was still pretty much a kid. It hasn't been edited and there are many issues I find with it.

She couldn't remember anything about herself: her age, her life. Not even her own name. She only had a partially burned Driver's license with her face and the first initial of her name. J. Run. Do not interact. She forgot why she heeded those words. She walks through the forests with only a stranger as a companion. She can't speak to anyone. Did she wish to go back though? She wasn't sure. Run. Do not interact. Now she remembers. The type of person she was. Will she keep running? She wasn't sure.Complete
