Damien Webster is new to foster care. Both his parents and little sister are dead and he has no other family. He refuses to talk. He can hear, but for whatever reason, he refuses to speak. His plan is to make it through the next five months of foster care than move on with his life. To leave all of the crap behind.
Lexi Thomas isn’t new to foster care. She’s been in and out of foster homes since she was six. She doesn’t remember her parents. After years of dreaming, she came to the conclusion that she wasn’t going to get adopted. Now she’s trying to live out the next seven months and escape the system.
Lexi can’t help but be fascinated by Damien. He’s hard, determined, and mute. She wants to get him to talk, to say something, anything, and refuses to give up on him, despite how harsh and distant he is with her.
