Breaking the Silence written by Jo Milne performed by Colleen Prendergast on CD (Unabridged)

Jo Milne was profoundly deaf from birth and is when she also began to lose her sight. Just before turning thirty, Jo was diagnosed with Usher Syndrome, a rare genetic and progressive condition that will one day rob her of her sight altogether. In 2014 she made a life-changing decision to undergo major surgery.

She had cochlear implants fitted allowing her to hear for the first time. Every moment of Jo's days since the operation has become a journey of discovery. Breaking the Silence is a remarkable and beautifully written memoir that will serve as an inspiration to everyone who reads it. By turn, it is heart-breaking and heart-warming.
