Description
Amanda McDonough's story begins with a secret she kept hidden for 18 years - her hearing loss. As she struggled to cope in school, relationships and daily life, she found herself unable to hear or communicate in the ways she once took for granted.
With no other option but to adapt, Amanda discovered a new culture, language and sense of self through Deaf communication methods. She learned to speak again, lip-read and sign, and went on to achieve remarkable success in her career as an actress, finishing college and entering the workforce with determination.
This memoir is a powerful account of Amanda's journey to find balance between her old life and her new one, and to discover her purpose. It's a story of resilience, self-discovery and the power of communication.
