Description
Claudia Marseille's memoir explores her journey from childhood loneliness to self-discovery and healing. Born with a severe hearing loss, she was mainstreamed in an effort to lead a "normal" life, but this approach left her feeling misunderstood and isolated. As Claudia navigates her relationships with her parents and her own identity, she grapples with the complexities of family, loss, shame, and love. Through her story, she shares her struggles to find a career compatible with her hearing loss and eventually discovers a path of creativity and joy. This memoir is an inspiring account of one woman's journey towards healing and self-acceptance, revealing the ways in which an invisible disability can shape our lives without defining us.
