About the Author

C.A. Harris decided in early 2011 that it was time to break her silence about growing up hearing impaired. So she began to write. She,d never written anything before, but the words flowed as she spent countless hours surfacing memories and allowing them to subside again. Tears spilled as she recalled the countless trips to the doctor and the ridicule of her peers.

C.A.'s intent for Breaking Silence isn't for fame and fortune - it's for hope and inspiration. An adult now, she allows wisdom to guide her and she wants all children who are deaf or hearing impaired to know that they don't have to live in silence. And, no matter what challenges they encounter, opportunities are right in front of them and all they need is the encouragement, motivation and wisdom to know they can succeed.
