About the Author

Renee D'Offay is an inspiring Deaf role model who has touched the hearts of many through her challenging experiences. Her book is a memoir which she hopes will inspire others. Renee was born thirteen minutes before her twin sister Jane on December 22, 1982. She grew up with her family in the small Victorian coastal town of Breamlea. Renee was born and lived with natural hearing for nineteen years before she contracted meningococcal meningitis in 2002, which left her profoundly deaf. This life-changing experience encouraged Renee to have a new outlook on life, and started her on a journey for which she could never be prepared.
