Publisher's Summary

For 11 years Oakley Farrell has been silent. At the age of five, she stopped talking, and no one seems to know why. Refusing to communicate beyond a few physical actions, Oakley remains in her own little world.

Bullied at school, she has just one friend, Cole Benson. Cole stands by her, refusing to believe that she is not perfect the way she is. Over the years they have developed their own version of a normal friendship. However, will it still work as they start to grow even closer?

When Oakley is forced to face someone from her past, can she hold her secret in any longer?

UK native Natasha Preston grew up in small villages and towns. She discovered her love of writing when she stumbled across an amateur writing site and uploaded her first story and hasn't looked back since. She enjoys writing NA romance, thrillers, gritty YA and the occasional serial killer.

Being strong

This brings back the silences in my life! I’ve thought of ending my life for what happened! No one would ever believe me. I did however tell my husband before we got married…I didn’t want to start my forever after life with such a big secret. The ups and down he’s been there dealing with the lowest times till eventually one time I was out of control and being at his wits end called our kids to help at which time I told them. They believed me but this secret is still up on a closet shelf hidden away!
I feel I’m the black sheep of the family. When I look for father’s day cards they don’t say “I love you or thanks for being a great father “. For my mom I find it hard to find the appropriate card as fell, I can’t say to any of my brothers and sister that I love them! Why me? Did I take one for the team?

Trigger warning

Also it goes on and on and on and on with nothing happening and you don’t know why she doesn’t speak. Trigger child sexual abuse. Worst book ever.
