The Silence Between Us

Sixteen-year-old Lane Rivera has survived high school by staying silent—editing videos from behind the camera, swallowing her feelings, and keeping her family's secrets. But when an anonymous rumor account threatens to expose the truth she's tried to outrun, Lane discovers a new world of spoken word, sign language, and teens who use art to reclaim their voices. As friendships deepen and old wounds surface, Lane must decide whether staying quiet protects her—or breaks her. The Silence Between Us is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about courage, community, and learning to speak in the language that finally fits.
