When Nina was only 8 years old she got into a car crash with her mom and dad, it caused her to go deaf permanently. And her parents to die. Now she has to live with her aunt and uncle, which isn't so bad but she also has to go to St. Charles High School for the Deaf. Or CHSD, for short. Now at the age of 15 she has mastered the art of American Sign Language (ASL). When Nina passes through to the 10 grade she's able to go to an ACTUAL high school. Nina is frightened and excited at the same time! Can she do it? Will she make friends? Most of all; are there going to be cute boys?
