Marlee Brooks lives in a society where everyone is equal. Every girl is beautiful. Every good deed is rewarded. Every class is fun. But if they have such an even way of living, why does Marlee feel like she sticks out?
Because Marlee is mute.
Despite knowing she is "equal," she knows she's not the same. All the boys hope they won't be picked to be her life partner. Her rewards always seem to be a chore for the one rewarding her. Her classmates stare at the guy who talks for her when she makes hand gestures.
So when Zane Babcook, a rebel who doesn't believe in disabilities, stumbles into her room one night, Marlee learns that her mouth isn't the only way to speak.
