About the Book:

“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” - Francis of Assisi

Scarlett Miller has Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and having a disability like hers isn't easy. Scarlett finds ways to embrace it regardless of how others believe she should be. Her fears of how the people closest to her react when they find out. Will they think it's an act? Or that Scarlett is pretending to be disabled for attention? All her questions are all put to rest eventually as life takes some unexpected turns. Truth indeed is stranger than fiction.

Scarlett allows her feelings to run its course instead of trying to fake positivity; this allows her to do some extraordinary things just to prove herself to be ordinary. Follow Scarlett on a journey of self-discovery as she overcomes obstacles and hardships and learns to embrace her disability as a part of herself; and how she and everyone around her adapt to her ‘new normal’ life and finally accept her for who she is and not just her disability.
