Autorenporträt
Dr. Cathy Chovaz, an internationally recognized Clinical Psychologist, has published and presented widely over three decades about the complexities and inequities regarding mental health and deafness. She is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at King's University College at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. This debut fiction novel departs from Cathy's professional and academic publishing. She has embraced the freedom to tell a story from her core, as a woman deafened in her early adulthood, and from the generational-spanning stories shared with her from the countless deaf adults, adolescents, and children that she has been privileged to work with clinically, and the abundant friendships fostered through time and trust. This book challenges readers to view the world, and their own place in it, in ways not contemplated before. She lives in a lakeside Ontario community with her husband and one "perfect" and one "promising" Labrador retriever, and two feline friends.
