Description: At the age of 17, Charlotte Goode is learning to cope with serious life issues, but then she gets devastating news-- tumors are growing on her auditory nerves. The necessary surgery will leave her completely deaf. With the operation scheduled in a month, Charlotte prepares herself for a world without sound. A world without the violin she loves, without her best friend's laugh, and even without her boss's irksome tone. Charlotte's on a mission to take it all in, while trying to hire a band to play a benefit concert. Will it be The Bond Boys or Lennox? Counting down the days until everything goes silent, The Bond Boys' lead singer, Ron Cam, sweeps Charlotte off her feet. He's pure charisma. Then there's Matthew Lovelace of Lennox, who captures Charlotte's attention with his music and "that" voice. What will she do? Time is running out. Charlotte must find a way to leave the hearing world on a high note without missing a beat.--back cover.
