The novel begins with Maggie living a life of self-imposed isolation in a new town, attempting to "disappear" to escape her abusive domestic situation. Her physical disability—the loss of her hearing—serves as both a literal and symbolic barrier to human connection until a chance encounter with Knight shifts her world.
The tension of the novel peaks when Knight rescues Maggie from her father's abuse and brings her into the inner sanctum of the motorcycle club. Themes and Character Dynamics
