Description
An inspiring memoir of disability, fame, and identity
Abigail Heringer made her television debut as an instant fan-favorite on ABC's The Bachelor. Stepping out of the luxurious limo, she confidently approached her bachelor and let him know that she'd be staring at his lips all night for two reasons: one, she was born deaf and two, he has some nice-looking lips.
But Abigail's life didn't start out with this level of self-assured energy. In fact, it started with barely any at all. As a deaf child and natural introvert, Abigail was terrified of the spotlight—always afraid of how people would react to her disability and how her presence would inconvenience others. But with the support of her family (especially her deaf older sister), she learned that the world would walk all over her if she let it. Only through becoming her own fiercest advocate and loudest champion could she ever learn to find her voice.

"The Deaf Girl brought me to tears, reflecting on my own experiences living with a cochlear implant. Abigail’s vulnerability in sharing the challenges of balancing both the silent and hearing worlds deeply transformed my perspective on my hearing loss journey.
