I personally love this book so far it is really sad, how your at college living your dream and to get the phone call you sister passed. Her sister is so determined to find out why and what caused this so her sister goes back home to figure it out. Deaf people really struggle there is many things involving hearing that entertain us. This mystery is really good especially the past and how involved and dedicated she is. Abby Jensen suffers bad hearing , a particularly devastating affliction since Abby is a musical prodigy with a passion for the piano. When, two years later, it appears that Abby has committed suicide. As Paige (the sister) goes on a mission and starts interviewing her friends, teachers and medical professionals she is all mixed up in her own feelings of guilt are balanced by the things she gains into the isolation, pain and frustration that had become her sister's life.
