They say you can't choose your family.
But Alyssa wishes she could.
When her mom remarries, Alyssa is forced to live with a man she barely knows-and deeply resents. Grant Ellis isn't violent, he isn't cruel... but he's cold, quiet, and always watching. His presence turns her home into a war zone of silence, tension, and sharp words. The only thing colder than their house is the distance growing between Alyssa and everyone around her.
As school becomes hell, friendships crumble, and her emotions spiral into numbness, Alyssa begins blaming Grant for everything. He's the reason her world is falling apart. Or so she thinks.
But in a story built on silence, what happens when the truth starts whispering through the cracks?
