Bookroo's summary
Fifteen-year-old Callie is silent, even to her therapist at Sea Pines, a treatment center for troubled teens. As she navigates life among other residents, Callie must confront the trauma that led her to self-harm. Will she find her voice and begin to heal, or remain trapped in silence? Her journey is one of pain, release, and the struggle for recovery, as she reluctantly connects with those around her. In a place where everyone has their own battles, Callie's silence can only last so long before the need to speak becomes undeniable.
