description: Steffi doesn't talk but she has so much to say.Rhys can't hear but he can listen.Their love isn't a lightning strike it's the rumbling roll of thunder.Steffi has been a selective mute for most of her life - she's been silent for so long that she feels completely invisible. But Rhys the new boy at school sees her. He's deaf and her knowledge of basic sign language means that she's assigned to look after him. To Rhys it doesn't matter that Steffi doesn't talk and as they find ways to communicate Steffi finds that she does have a voice and that she's falling in love with the one person who makes her feel brave enough to use it. From the bestselling author of Beautiful Broken Things comes a love story about the times when a whisper is as good as a shout.
