Imagine what it would be like to have one of your senses taken away. You don't want to think about it, right? Although this isn't the case for Alexa Betancourt, it's very similar. 

Alexa had a horrible experience when she was twelve, leaving her mute. She's never able to speak, and to remind her of this she has a hideous scar on her neck that she constantely tries to hide. 

She went to a special needs school for four years, but decided she wanted to live as normal a life as possible, so she enrolled in a public school. People don't pay much attention to the quiet new girl at first, but after a while people learn of why she's always silent. 

Alexa makes new friends, and becomes really close with a boy named Daniel, who seems to understand her completely. He's just like her really, except with a voice. He has a disability of his own, and when Alexa finds out they grow incredibly closer... Especially when Daniel's parents start to get involved in whatever they have...

After an accident in eighth grade, Louisa Kelley was blind. Every day was a struggle for her as she tried to adjust to life both at school and at home, but life got easier with practice. As soon as Louisa entered high school, things had changed for the worse. The students around her bullied her because she was different, harassing her, stealing her things, and talking about her behind her back, making an already difficult life so much harder. Now in her junior year of high school, Louisa is broken and without anyone to call a friend. She eventually decides to remove herself from the bullies that surround her daily and be home schooled. That is, until she met Alex. Alex Mirren was born deaf, but when he was six years old, he received a cochlea implant that allowed him to hear. Even after the ten years of speech therapy where he had to teach himself how to hear, Alex prefers to stay in the silence and only communicates with the world when necessary. Life seemed dull to him as he was stuck in between two worlds of silence and noise, not knowing his purpose or place in society. That is, until he saw a girl with a walking stick in the hallways. Louisa and Alex weren't made for each other. Although the very presence of each other gives them new hope and strength, things are difficult as Louisa thrives by using her hearing, while Alex shies away from sound and uses sight. Without being able to communicate easily, they must learn to overcome the barrier of the silence between them, which is easier said than done. But aren't the struggles worth it to be with that one person that means everything?
