Empathy

Libby Mallory was an ordinary girl- average grades, average appearance- with an extraordinary best friend, Ashley Brine. But Libby's world shatters around her when she and Ashley experience a school shooting. Libby, the ultimate witness to the crime, falls completely mute, leaving the shooter's motives a mystery.

Harrison Atwood is an ordinary boy-an eighteen year old working at the town post office-who was paralyzed in the same school shooting that caused Libby to fall silent. Though he once aspired to leave the small town in pursuit of his dreams, the shooting forces him to stay.

When the two find each other in the midst of tragedy, they discover that sometimes to escape your past, you have to face the reason it haunts you.
