Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It has been such a stimulating privilege to read Marie's story. The way in which she shares her wonderful highs and terrible lows with us give a unique insight into her courage, determination and optimism. What really shines through is her refusal to lie down and to give in. She has lived with and overcome enormous problems, including the absence of hearing. We have all experienced our own difficulties of one kind or another and so this very personal account carries a message of promise: Life is exciting, richness is to be had from persevering, and the greatest mistake is to give up. This philosophy is all delivered in a very readable and thought-provoking way. We rejoice with her as we hear the birds sing, too. This is a revealing and inspiring book.

This book will make your heart sing as you read about Marie Younkin-Waldman's life before and after her cochlear implant at the age of 63. After a lifetime of struggling with a progressive hearing loss the author was at the point where she could not hear on the telephone or her grandchildren. She finally opted for the technical modern miracle that has changed her life completely. Younkin-Waldman was always an outgoing, innovative personality even with hearing loss, as she hosted and produced a television show, survived a first marriage with a problematic Vietnam veteran, raised four children, was a teacher, family therapist and lived some of her life abroad where she amazingly learned to speak French. Marie's fresh personality and warm heart will win you over as you get to know her and become inspired by her courage.
