Silent Whispers

Veronica Chandler is a 23- year-old deaf girl who lives under the strict control of her mother. Despite her mother's overbearing nature, Veronica is intelligent, independent, and has a quiet rebellious streak. She communicates through sign language and has always felt isolated from others, unable to fully express herself in her mother's suffocating presence. Veronica finds solace in books, often escaping into the world of stories that let her live freely, even if only in her mind.

One afternoon, Veronica visits a local bookstore, drawn to its worn and welcoming vibe. There, she meets Lorenzo White, the tattooed owner of the store. Lorenzo is a contrast to everything Veronica is used to-he's easygoing, open, and speaks through a mix of tattoos and a gentle demeanor that intrigues her. He doesn't treat her any differently because of her deafness and is fascinated by her unique perspective of the world. As they connect over their shared love for literature, Veronica begins to feel a spark of independence from the control her mother has over her. Lorenzo, with his free spirit and understanding, becomes the unexpected person who might help Veronica find her own voice.
