UK price: £7.99     US price: $14.95 Format: Paperback Size: 6 x 9 Pages: 149 ISBN: 0-595-44840-2 Published: May-2007

People find that their lives are unfulfilling and even empty in spite of the fact that they are educated, intelligent and talented. To have a Balanced Life, we need to renew ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and pay attention to our relationships and social life as well.

Life can be seen from many angles, at its many different stages. Concepts change as we experience and grow. In this book we are exploring the time when we are older—Senior Citizen, OAP, or just 'not quite so young'.

Life and Deaf, about bringing up a girl who is profoundly deaf, is for anyone who enjoys a true inspirational and uplifting story filled with pathos, hope, dejection, unswerving love, success and romance.
