Unheard Voices: Finding language and belonging in the Deaf and hearing worlds | 
pickA beautifully written book about a little girl born without hearing in a small Australian country town and how her parents and siblings coped with it. She was a much loved member of her family, but not knowing how to deal with her, little Evelyn was sent away to Melbourne. Her daughter Dawn tells her story and what it was like to be raised in a silent home.
pickGrowing up in the small town of Bobinawarrah in Victoria and being born into a hearing family was tough for my Aunty Evelyn. Little Evelyn was born deaf and with little to no help available for this little girl her story is sad, captivating and inspiring. My cousin Dawn captures her mother‘s childhood beautifully as well as describing what it was like living with 2 parents who couldn‘t hear her. Loved every minute of this book!
