Your Voice Is All I Hear Leah Scheier

Marc Notes: April is used to being ignored. So when her only friend transfers to a different high school, April braces for the worst year of her life. Then she meets Jonah. He actually understands her, and she is swept away by his charisma. But Jonah's haunted by traumatic events from his past, and as he slips into a depression, he lashes out at April with a knife. April stands beside Jonah when he's committed and diagnosed with schizophrenia. But as his health declines, she must make an impossible choice: stick with the boy she loves or let him go so they can both heal. Review Quotes: "A story of the human heart and the tortured mind. Jonah's plight will touch your soul." - Tabitha Suzuma, author of ForbiddenReview Quotes: "[A]n intense portrait of the unpredictability of schizophrenia and the toll it takes on those close to those who have it." - Publishers WeeklyReview Quotes: "An affecting, well-crafted story that will stay with readers long after the final page." - BooklistPublisher Marketing:"I was the one he trusted. I was the one he loved, the only one who believed him, even when his own mother had locked him up and thrown away the key. And now, I was going to pass down the white tiled hallway, knock on his doctor's office door, slam his secret notebook on her desk and make her read it, make her understand what he was hiding, make her see what only I had seen."April won't let Jonah go without a fight. He's her boyfriend-her best friend. She'll do anything to keep him safe. But as Jonah slips into a dark depression, trying to escape the traumatic past that haunts him, April is torn. To protect Jonah, she risks losing everything: family, friends, an opportunity to attend a prestigious music school. How much must she sacrifice? And will her voice be loud enough to drown out the dissenters-and the ones in his head? Review Citations:
