Ruby Lane is a typical girl of seventeen, who is crazy for boys, clothes, friends, and though she may not act like it, she wants to do what's best for her family. She continually does whatever she can at church to raise the eyebrows of the elders. She's crushing on a boy who her mother doesn't approve of until she meets Kyle. Kyle has the kindest eyes of anyone she's ever met. But when Ruby tries to talk to him, she learns he's deaf, autistic, and brilliant. But he won't say her name. Ruby will do anything to hear him speak her name out loud.
