Matt leans closer as I pull away. I'm not ready for this. Matt softly takes my hand, comforting me. "It's okay" he whispers. "I can hear you" ---------------------------------------- Tara Well has been mute all her life. She can hear, but not speak. She is forced to listen, but never respond. Doctors have tried to help her, but nothing can be done. Tara will be silent forever. Enter Matthew Welsh. He is easily the loudest, most daring boy at Tara's new high school. He is the only one who truly notices Tara. Trying to help her, he will talk to her for hours, despite ridicule from his friends. Tara somehow grows to like the strange boy, and a new and exciting friendship is formed. In the end, it will take one motorbike, several blocks of chocolate and a trip to the zoo to dent the icy exterior and warm the heart of the girl with no words.

"What happens when a girl haunted by a shattered past finds herself in a family that doesn't know how to mend what has been broken? Seven brothers. One hidden truth. And a secret that refuses to remain buried." Alia was only fifteen when her world fell apart,once again. Years after enduring a trauma no child should ever have to face, she is thrust into an unfamiliar life, far from everything she once knew. Her mother has remarried, found happiness, and embraced a new beginning. But for Alia, healing is not as simple as turning a page. Now living in a grand house with seven stepbrothers who are little more than strangers, Alia carries scars that cannot be seen and memories she cannot bring herself to share. Beneath her quiet exterior lies a pain far too heavy for someone her age , a past she has spent years trying to outrun. They call her family. They tell her she is safe. But Alia has learned that safety can be fragile, and trust is not easily given by those who have been hurt before. As buried secrets begin to resurface and old wounds threaten to reopen, Alia finds herself standing at a crossroads between fear and hope, silence and truth. Will this newfound family become the refuge she never believed she deserved, or will the shadows of her past follow her into the only place she has left to call home? When silence speaks louder than words, can love be enough to heal what was once broken? Hare Krishna ✨
