Interrupted: Life Beyond Words by Rachel Coker
Summary from B&N.com:
Can love really heal all things? If Sam Carroll hadn't shown up, she
might have been able to get to her mother in time. Instead, Allie Everly
finds herself at a funeral, mourning the loss of her beloved mother.
She is dealt another blow when, a few hours later, she is sent from
Tennessee to Maine to become the daughter of Miss Beatrice Lovell, a
prim woman with a faith Allie cannot accept. Poetry and letters written
to her mother become the only things keeping Allie's heart from
hardening completely. But then Sam arrives for the summer, and with him
comes many confusing emotions, both toward him and the people around
her. As World War II looms, Allie will be forced to decide whether
hanging on to the past is worth losing her chance to be loved.
Summer of The Wolves by Lisa Williams Kline
Summary from B&N.com:
Stepsisters, yes. Friends? Maybe ...
'I smelled the wolf now---sharp and musky. I scanned the pen and saw a shadow behind one of the bushes that might be another wolf. Probably two of the most miserable looking creatures I'd ever seen.' --from Summer of the Wolves Stephanie and Diana are having a hard time adjusting to life as new stepsisters. The girls 'pretend' to like each other, but it's pretty hard considering they are complete opposites. When their new family takes their first-ever vacation to a horse ranch in North Carolina, not even long horse-back rides in the forest can tame their tempers. Diana's anger issues and Stephanie's fear of everything prove disastrous, until Diana discovers the caged wolves in the deep woods. She vows to free them, and surprisingly, Stephanie agrees to help. But their actions have unforeseen consequences, and if there's any chance to make things right, Stephanie and Diana must put their differences aside

What I Didn't Say by Keary Taylor
Summary from B&N.com:
Getting drunk homecoming night your senior year is never a good idea, but Jake Hayes never expected it all to end with a car crash and a t-post embedded in his throat.
His biggest regret about it all? What he never said to Samantha Shay. He's been in love with her for years and never had the guts to tell her. Now it's too late. Because after that night, Jake will never be able to talk again.
When Jake returns to his small island home, population 5,000, he'll have to learn how to deal with being mute. He also finds that his family isn't limited to his six brothers and sisters, that sometimes an entire island is watching out for you. And when he gets the chance to spend more time with Samantha, she'll help him learn that not being able to talk isn’t the worst thing that could ever happen to you. Maybe, if she'll let him, Jake will finally tell her what he didn't say before, even if he can't actually say it.
