Hear Me
Exploring issues of deafness and how we view people through a labeled lens, Hear Me is also a teen romance where a troubled boy and girl learn from each other to find themselves and love.
According to her parents, hard-of-hearing Margaret Star isn’t deaf enough to matter. Her dream is to share her music on stage, but she’d settle for a minute of her parents’ attention or a friend who actually listens.
Gray Trax can’t escape his labels or his turbulent past. Homeless. Troublemaker. Deaf. Angry. No matter how hard he tries, his temper gets the best of him. All he wants is to be valued for who he is instead of judged for his reputation.
Their mutual social pariah status throws them together. Gray is amazed Margaret sees the boy beneath his labels, and, for the first time, Margaret feels heard. But the two become targets of a bully who will stop at nothing to humiliate Margaret in order to drive Gray deeper into the darkness. Margaret has the voice to stop Gray from gaining another label—murderer. But will anyone hear her?
