My memory is very hazy but I remember certain parts really clearly. I got it from a school library in New Zealand in 2013/2014, but I don't think it was new. I'm pretty sure I just pulled it off the shelf at random. The title was two words, and I think one of them was the word 'sausage', though I might be wrong. It was a novel, so no pictures.

The main character is a young girl who was born deaf, and she lives on a farm with her dad. Her mom was killed by a hit and run. I think the dad may have been remarrying? The woman who was driving comes forth at the end of the book and explains she was rushing her family member to the hospital so she didn't have time to stop or check on the mom. The main character forgives her in the end.

I don't remember much of the story, but I think it had to do with the main girl sneaking away from the father to figure something out (perhaps to do with her mother's killer). At some point in the climax the dad got an adrenaline rush and lifted something heavy off of the main girl. It might have been a house or a car, but it was definitely something heavy. There were no supernatural elements in the book (so no superpowers or ghosts or whatever), it was fairly down to earth.

There was a character who was a butcher, and his skin was very pink like sliced ham. I don't remember anything else about him.

The cover was the main girl looking at the reader. She had a big head, and she looked like she was cut out of various bits of magazine. The closest way I could describe it is Angela Anaconda, but in full colour and not as creepy. There was a grid of brown-ish objects behind her (in a similar cut-out style) that were either sausages or dog poop. The background was light blue/cyan.
