Summary of Joanne Lee's Silent Sisters

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had a father who was strict, but also warm and loving. He instilled in me the difference between right and wrong at a young age, and had the courage to stand up for it. I didn’t need any other moral compass. #2 I was always independent, and I didn’t care how long the journey took. I was elated when I saw the sea, and decided that if my parents didn’t come back, I would live by the sea. #3 I had two parents who were profoundly deaf. My father could sign, and I had learned sign language as a toddler to communicate with them. I was unaware of the actual learning process; signing seemed natural to me. #4 I was a quick learner. I didn’t go to my mother for comfort anymore. I knew better. Soon after, I got mumps, and my mother packed me off to Nanny Edith’s house. I was completely happy there.
