Born with an inability to speak, Arabella never felt connected to anyone. Everyone in her high school found reason to ridicule her condition, and it didn't help that the guy she crushed on rejected her in a manner to where she barely had any pride left. But though Arabella had struggles, a change in events is soon proposed. After meeting Johanna, a girl who lost her leg in a motorcycle accident, she finally finds a person who understands what it's like to be different, and it soon proves that Johanna isn't the only person who feels that way. After receiving letters left at the library where she works, from a guy by the name of "Nate", who proclaims feelings for Arabella from afar, she soon finds herself falling for a person she never met. But like everything in life, Arabella finds herself face to face with complications. Johanna has a plan to set Arabella up on a blind date, and ironically enough, her date is actually blind. Arabella and the boy, William, instantly hit it off. Though vision isn't something William possesses, he shows Arabella the beauty of life and everything in it.Faced with two different people, Arabella must make the ultimate choice about who to end up with- someone who understands her struggles or someone she feels a deep connection with but has never met in person- and along the way, realizes that life is all of what you make of it, and sometimes you just have to dig deeper than the surface.COVER MADE BY: @soundthealarm…
