I need help. I am looking for a story that I have read 2 to 3 times already, I was wanting to read it again.
I can't remember the title or who wrote it, but I'm hoping you can help me. I'm not sure of the exact description however I can tell you points about the story.
It's about a high school girl (jr or sr yr), she was assaulted by a friend of her and her brother's at a party, discovered by her brother and other friends. Due to the nature of the assualt she became mute and communicates through sign language. A "new guy", returns to the school, rumored to have been in jail/juvenile detention for some reason. He begins to hang out with her and her friends with the ruse to learn sign language. Her brother is very protective of her until he knows he can trust the "new guy".
I dont want to say to much more and give it away, in case you haven't read it.
Any help would be amazing. I'm really wanting to read it again and I am not having any luck finding it.
