When a drug-smuggling ring rocks a small coastal town, the DEA sends Agent Owen Matthews to shut it down. A single father with a deaf son, Owen senses that the town's number one suspect, the high school's new principal, doesn't fit the profile. Miriam Hunter hoped to shrug off the stigma of her hearing impairment when she returned to Stepping Stones, Maine. But her recurring nightmares dredge up old memories that could prove her innocence, and uncover the truth behind a decades-old murder. Yet Owen's help may not be enough when someone decides to keep Miriam silenced, permanently.

When Owen finds a deaf woman on the shoreline of Stepping Stones Island, he at first thinks she's been gravely injured, since she doesn't answer his calls and questions. He's so stunned by the realization of his mistake that he doesn't get off on the best of terms with her. He's even more stunned when he reports for his new undercover job as a schoolteacher and finds her again as the new principal he's there to investigate.
I know several deaf people (our church has a deaf church on site) and I've always thought it would be nice to be able to communicate with them, but keep “not having time.” I need to make time!
Another thing I really appreciated was that they didn't get all swoony over body parts. No sweaty six packs, etc etc. Thanks, Katy Lee! :)
