"The Words Between Us"
Layla, a determined speech therapy student, believes everyone has a voice worth hearing—until she meets Tex, a sharp-witted young man with cerebral palsy who's spent years labeled "nonverbal." When she takes him on as a patient, their sessions spark an unexpected connection that defies every professional boundary.
As Tex begins to find his words—first through a letter board, then through broken but determined speech—Layla realizes she's the one truly learning: about patience, about listening, and about the kinds of love that don't need perfect words to be real.
But when their growing bond forces them to confront the harsh realities of Tex's institutionalized life, they'll have to fight not just for his voice, but for their right to be heard—together.
A poignant, unconventional love story about the language we build when words fail, and the voices we discover when someone finally leans in close enough to listen.
