Description

In this inspiring memoir, A Journey Beyond Silence, Elometer relates a moving account of  her life, before and after, she lost her hearing. She tells of the day she returned home from the hospital and discoved that she could no longer hear the voices of her family and friends. In fact, she can't hear anything at all.

It's hard enough for a young girl to deal with such a loss, but things get even worse when her stern family takes her out of school and hides her from the outside world.

Eventually, Elometer stops fantasizing about one day having her hearing return, and she takes steps to thrive in a world that misunderstands her and treats her differently. But her spirit and determination enable her to succeed.

Take a peek into a world that millions of deaf and hard-of-hearing people must live in every day and be inspired by a woman who doesn't let anyone or anything hold her back. It's a truly uplifting story of hope courage and endurance, and a true testimony to the durability and determination of the human spirit in all of us.

That a young  girl who was kept isolated and hidden for twenty years, was able to marry, raised two wonderful children and succeed as a seamstress in New York City is remarkable.
