Just One Mistake

Extended Description

"And just one mistake . . . is all it will take."

What if one mistake made you lose what you rely on most: your hearing? What if that mistake made you start fresh in a whole other state, with a new name and new look, at a whole new school? What if the relaxing voice of your mother was replaced by a constant ringing? What if one mistake broke your leg, took away your hearing, killed a friend, and injured two other friends? What if your strawberry blonde hair was turned black, your birth name changed to Edwin?

Meet the talented, beautiful, Nova Hale. Well, Edwin Fulmer now. She blames herself for a terrible accident that killed her best friend, also bandmate, took away her hearing, broke her leg, and injured two other friends, also bandmates. Nova used to be the lead singer of the popular band Supernova. And, now, she's a helpless deaf girl living Ashland, Wisconsin with her brother. She no longer resembles herself at all. Her strawberry blond hair has been dyed black, her usually smiling face saddened, and her enthusiastic personality now gone.

In her new life, Edwin has one goal: don't be noticed. But, what happens when she is noticed? More importantly, noticed by Neil Rusk, a soccer player obsessed with what happened to the popular Nova Hale after she got in a terrible accident?

Will Edwin tell him her secret, or keep him in the dark?

"This . . . this is all my fault. I killed him, I caused my own disability, I broke my own leg . . . and, I'll never forgive myself for that. I'm a murderer. I caused that wreck, and, honestly, I should be in jail right now."
