When Margaret Star first meets Gray Trax, she instantly knows her world will change forever. Hard of hearing, she's never really felt like anyone listened to her. Shy and reserved, all Margaret has ever wanted was to share her music onstage. Lately, she'd settle for a minute of her parents’ attention or a friend who actually listens. Gray Trax is that friend. Gray is often misunderstood. While others see him as troubled, an angry bad boy, Margaret sees another side of him. He's brilliant and caring. And he happens to be Deaf, so they share a common language and culture. While neither of their lives is perfect, together they feel valued by each other. Margaret might even be the only person who can stop Gray from becoming another label, another statistic. As Gray and Margaret are pulled closer together, they realize everyone, even those who are mislabeled, deserves to be heard.
