<p>Some distances are measured in silence. But some can only be crossed by love.</p><p></p><p>When sixteen-year-old Ivy Parker's grandmother dies she loses more than family she loses her confidante her emotional compass and the only person who understood her without words. Left adrift in a fractured home with a distracted mother an overeager stepfather and a little brother she barely knows Ivy retreats into silence pushing away her best friend and failing every class that once brought her joy.</p><p></p><p>Then comes the grief group a quiet circle of teens who've lost too much and said too little. There Ivy meets Jules a girl who speaks in music and mourns with her eyes open. And slowly through late-night journal entries sidewalk walks with Maya and the poem Ivy dares to share in public a fragile but powerful truth emerges: healing doesn't mean letting go it means letting love grow in new places. </p>
