Silent Journey is an uplifting, young adult adventure novel about a deaf fourteen-year-old boy and his dog.

Following an accident that took his mother’s life eight years before, Scott is discovered to be deaf. His father, now a single parent, has a job that often takes him out of the country, leaving Scott to stay with one relative after another.
