Description
Somewhere between silence and sound lies Kathleen Fortun's story of resilience and determination. Born deaf after contracting T.B. Meningitis as a child, she recounts her struggles to navigate the world in a silent environment.
From the harsh realities of an Institution for the Deaf & Dumb, to the joys of family life and marriage, Kathleen shares her experiences with honesty and candour. She also describes the challenges she faced in her working life and the impact of societal attitudes on her personal relationships.
A turning point came when a chance meeting led to her receiving a Cochlear Implant, transforming her life forever. Today, Kathleen looks back on her journey with pride, reflecting on how she has adapted and thrived despite the obstacles she faced.
