12 year old Julie has learned that silence is safer than words.
After a tragedy leaves her alone, injured, and grieving, Julie is sent across the world to live with seven half-brothers she never knew existed. Their home is grand, powerful, and unfamiliar - filled with people who want to protect her, even if some of them do not know how to love her gently yet.
But Julie carries more than the loss of her mother. Behind her quiet eyes are secrets she swore she would never tell, memories she cannot outrun, and a heart that has learned to survive by hiding.
As her brothers try to reach the little sister they never knew they had, Julie must decide whether silence will keep protecting her - or if family can become the first place where she no longer has to disappear.
