\"Silent<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now Available on\u00a0Amazon<\/a>, ARe<\/a>, and\u00a0Barnes&Noble<\/a><\/h2>\n

Alex\u2019s life as a teenager in South Central L.A. is far from perfect, but it\u2019s his life, and he knows how to live it. He knows what role to play and what things to keep to himself. He\u2019s got it all under control, until one lousy pair of shoes kicks him out of his world and lands him in a foster care group home.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by strangers and trapped in a life where he could never belong, Alex turns to the only person lower on the social ladder than he is: a \u201cspecial\u201d mute boy. In Sebastian, Alex finds a safe place to store his secrets\u2014those that sent him to foster care, and the deeper one that sets him apart from the other teenagers he knows. But Sebastian has secrets of his own, and when tragedy rips the two boys apart, Alex will stop at nothing to find the answers\u2014even if it means dragging them both through a past full of wounds best left buried.<\/p>\n

It might just be worth it, for the slim chance at love.<\/p>\n
