Maddie, a girl with cerebral palsy, is the only person who knows the importance of words and how lucky someone is to speak them. Maddie has an amazing vocabulary but there is just one problem, she can't speak at all not even one word. Maddie is always coming up with good ideas to help her speak but she can't use her ideas because she can't communicate her ideas in any way. She is tired of coming up with ideas and knowing a large vocabulary and then just keeping it in her mind. Maddie knows that she is very smart and wishes more than anything that she could show people how smart she is so that people can stop thinking she is dumb. Join Maddie in her frustrating life of having to be speechless all of the time.

*CURRENTLY EDITING! This version may or may not contain harmful stereotypes and I had been meaning to revise them and change them so better messages are communicated. Also, chapter numbers may be repeated due to newer chapters that I added after originally finishing the story. Thank u!* Owen Watson isn't what others consider a people's person. Introverted and bookish as he is, Owen is known to be grouchy and easily annoyed, especially with people who treat him as someone who is only defined by their disability. He was in a wheelchair, but he was fine anyway. Being in one means standing out, and one of the things Owen hates the most is attention. He just wants to sit back in the shadows with a good book. Everything changed when Athena Calimeris stumbled into his life and made things more complicated. Athena is your typical, bubbly, girl next door. Child at heart, people wouldn't think twice to know that she's a former child prodigy. Though her recent past tells a different story, she is as fragile as any other person can be despite her playful, sunny personality. Due to a not-so typical meeting, Owen and Athena aren't exactly instant partners in crime. With a little sprinkle of blossoming friendship and a tiny pinch of eye rolling, falling for the other might seem impossible, but not entirely.
