Seeds of Disquiet

One Deaf Woman's Experience

By: Cheryl M. Heppner

After losing most of her hearing at age six from spinal meningitis, Cheryl Heppner did not allow the experience to slow her energy or exceptional abilities. Cheryl pursued life as "normally" as possible. Then, at age 25, disaster hit in the form of two nearly lethal strokes. Cheryl survived, only to realize that she had become profoundly deaf -- the residual hearing upon which she had depended to speechread was gone. Displaying characteristic nerve, she mounted a campaign to learn sign language. Her efforts rewarded her not only with a new way to communicate, but also with a home in an entirely new world and culture, and the desire to recreate her relationships, especially with her family. "Seeds of Disquiet" presents a remarkable narrative by an extraordinarily capable person on a life journey of discovery. Cheryl Heppner's insights on communication, language, and their intrinsic roles in defining vital relationships make this very personal story a revealing, essential experience for all who read it. -- From publisher's description.
