But as their friendship deepens into something more, the difficulty in communicating with each other only grows, and it seems like everyone they know thinks their relationship won't work. Jake is more intelligent, more genuine than anyone she has met before, and for the first time Kassie starts to feel like her life has some direction. Until a sweet-smelling girl introduces herself to him unexpectedly, and opens up a whole new world to him. Despite the odds, he's highly educated, but at 26, he's gotten stuck in a rut, with few friends and no clear career plans. His disability has cut him off from the world, but beneath his isolated exterior, is a smart, sweet guy with a dry sense of humor. Jake has been deaf and blind since birth. Kassie feels compelled to try signing to him-the fact that he's strikingly handsome doesn't hurt. One day at a Deaf community event, she sees a young man sitting off by himself. Now 24 and living in Seattle, she gets interested in learning sign language through her roommate, a sign language interpreter. Delaney, author of Precious Things Kassie has felt adrift ever since her dad died when she was in college. "A heartwarming and beautiful story, and a glimpse into a world most wouldn't consider even imagining." -Gail R.
