Description
Dawn Mauldon’s world was made of two languages, two cultures and two places of belonging. From an early age she crossed between the hearing and Deaf worlds as an interpreter for her Deaf parents.
This is also the story of her mother, Evelyn, who was separated from her home and family at the age of six and sent to live in the Victorian Deaf and Dumb Institution. Amid personal tragedies, Evelyn discovered her language, her place in the world and ultimately her own voice.
This tender memoir is a story of love, courage and curiosity in a world where difference comes to be nurtured and embraced.
“A beautiful heartwarming story of growing up deaf in a hearing world, as recounted by a loving daughter.” -Fiona Perry, Auslan Interpreter/Coda
“The experiences shared in Unheard Voices are as prevalent and relevant today as they were many years ago.” -Margaret Tope, Principal, Victorian College for the Deaf
