"High school senior Ella Cleary, whose synesthesia causes her to see colors with each interaction, must question everything she knows about her life when journalism student Alec investigates her parents' death." --,(Source of summary not specified)

Ella Cleary's family has a rare medical condition called synesthesia that scrambles the senses. Her Gram Helen sees every sound, and her uncle Joe can literally taste words. Ella's own synesthesia manifests itself as the ability to see colors that reveal people's true emotions. But Alec is a mystery to Ella -- she just can't read this handsome journalist who makes her feel normal for the first time in her life. Then he reveals the real reason why he sought her out: he wants to learn the truth behind her parents' deaths. Ella had been told died in an accidental fire. With her adoptive family keeping secrets, the only way for Ella to learn the truth about her past is to find a killer. -- adapted from jacket
