The Silence Between Us
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?Complete

Signing Love (#Wattys 2018)
Preview: I looked up, and smiled at Cole. I knew what has happened to me. I just didn't want to show too much of it. Ever since I started to know him, I was really happy. Even though I didn't have too many friends, I felt like I had the world supporting me. That feeling, is so hard to explain. "Are you ready for the science project tomorrow, Samantha?" He asked me. 'I told you, it's Sami. And yes, I'm ready.' I wrote on a piece of paper. I taught him a little sign language, but he only knows the basics. Like greetings. 'I guess this is where we part ways.' He nodded in agreement "Well, see you tomorrow." He waved as I started walking away from him. Right then, I put my middle and ring finger down, and kept my pinky finger, index finger, and my thumb up, I showed him my hand gesture, palm facing away from my face. He gave me a confused look, and I laughed at it. I turned around to walk away. Meaning? I love you. Summary: Samantha (Sami) Connor has been through a lot. She has lost her mother at a young age, and has also been raped. She has trust issues, and she hasn't said a word since she was five years old. But Cole Turner is the exact opposite. The school's hottest bad boy has girls swoon over him, and so much more. Through a journey of love, death, and heartbreak, will Cole and Sami get together anytime?Complete
