You, Me and Us

Blurb
'The first thing she could hear was nothing at all and it's all she's ever heard since she was born.'
'10 hours of surgery after that but even when they told him all was fine, he couldn't bring himself to talk anymore and from that day foreword, no one ever talked to him again because they knew he couldn't talk at all.'
Both of these kids have had rough lives and it's where the story begins. They're both opposites, Ben's a boy and Lulu's a girl, he can't talk and she can't hear, he's black and she's white and they both have different families. But both of them have been bullied and both of them are sick of being what others would call 'special'. So it's no surprise that when they first meet, they are dawn to each other but what the surprise is was that they seem to be healing each time they're near in contact. With a close friendship blossoming into something more pure than love, will Lu finally be able to hear the voice that Ben keeps only for her ears?
