Some people are loud so no one hears the quiet ones. Bell learned that lesson at 9. In a house full of shouting, secrets, and survival, she became invisible. At school they called her "Mouse". Then Tony transferred in. He doesn’t talk either. But he sees her. And the text he sends at 11:47pm changes everything: "You don’t have to be quiet anymore, Bell." Quiet Times is about the moment a girl who was taught to disappear decides to be seen.
