Iris Reed is starting her last year in high school. She just wants it to go by as quickly as possible and be invisible to everyone else. She wants to start a new life far away from her small town in North Carolina and try to be a completely different person. Her plans are interrupted by huge problems in her life that she just can't get through on her own. It doesn't help that she has selective mutism. With the help of her best friend Baylor and a new boy named Caden her goals might just change. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is my first story on here. I'm very excited to see how it goes. This story is mainly around Iris dealing with her selective mutism. I wanted to write a story about selective mutism because it is something I go through and it is very real to me and hard to deal with. Thank you to anyone who reads this.
