About the Author

Dawn is the first-born child of Deaf adults (a CODA). Growing up in post-war suburban Melbourne her family looked like almost everyone else, until they started talking with their hands. Her first language was tactile, visual, physical and theatrical, teaching her to be aware of details, accept differences and informing her understanding of how stories are told. Later, she became a teacher of English, Literature and Drama and moved to Perth, where she taught for many years in the West Australian school and prison systems. Dawn now lives in North Fremantle and spends her time writing about language and culture and discovering the silenced voices behind untold stories.
