A sensitive and authentic portrayal of a girl experiencing progressive hearing loss, written by an author with progressive hearing loss.

A year after being diagnosed with hearing loss, twelve-year-old Rayne is doing her best to live a “normal” life. But even with hearing aids, she has trouble following conversations, understanding song lyrics, and even surfing. Rayne’s parents want her to get cochlear implants, which could restore her hearing, but Rayne isn't convinced the surgery for CIs is worth the risks and challenges. She begs her parents to consider other options, but they're not budging.

With the surgery looming, Rayne sets off on a search for alternatives. Along the way, she discovers that “normal” can have many meanings—and that even though her ears may be broken, she is not.
