Life and Deaf Patricia Molloy

The object of writing this book, the author writes, "is to try to relate as honestly and as sincerely as possible, the emotions, fears, difficulties, disappointments and hopes, and, above all, the tremendous satisfaction I experienced in bringing up a deaf child." In that aim she has undoubtedly succeeded, and no reader can read this moving story of courage and perseverance without being profoundly moved and regenerated by the depth of love with which she and her husband-and indeed Rosemary, their daughter-relentlessly overcame the barriers that confronted them.
