I really enjoyed both of Criss Copp's books, Falling in Silence and Always Summer. And I love that there is always a happy ending. In Falling in Silence you definitely feel for the main characters Imogen and Saxon. Both have been through so much and yet everything that has happened to them in their pasts only seems to make them perfect for each other in the here and now.Imogen has been abused and neglected by both of her parents, and when she was 14 she went through something tragic that made her decide to become a mute for 5 years.  Saxon grew up with junkie parents, and got his girlfriend pregnant at the age of 16. He took his girlfriend out of where they were living, became responsible, got help, a job and decided to take care of his new family. His daughter is born deaf, and is abandoned by her mom at 13 months old. Saxon becomes a single dad and devotes his life to protecting and caring for his daughter.When Imogen meets Saxon she is 19, almost 20, and he is 22 and his daughter is 5. Imogen feels an instant connection with his daughter, realizing the little girl is deaf and signs just like she does to communicate. Saxon is immediately attracted to Imogen yet scared about getting into a relationship with anyone.They are thrown together and soon experience a whirlwind type of love/romance. Though they have found each other and the 3 of them seem to have an ideal family, there are still people trying to pull them apart.
