Re: Review of Voiceless

The memoir seems to provide an insightful look into the difficulties faced by a person with a physical impairment.  Growing up as a teenager and having trouble expressing yourself presents challenges.  The author seems to develop into a strong person despite the suffering.

Latest Review: Beautifully Scarred by Cewanda Todd

I am shocked that people would dismiss the illness as seeking attention. An enormous contrast with her parents trying to find solutions by thinking about the whistle. Testimonies of people being strong enough in the face of hardship, can motivate others to find the inner strength as well.

This sounds like a really insightful read. My only experience with people that are unable to speak is from TV. I always like to learn from someone's actual experience.

This book teaches us how to overcome any struggle. Just like Marie, she lost her voice but still didn't lose hope. She face many struggle during her illness. But she never let himself down and, in the end, she got her voice back. So this teaches us to never loose hope; struggle are the part of life. This is a heart touching non fiction books by "Marie McCreadie".

Marie is a strong woman. It takes a lot of courage to write this kind of book. I guess what she lost in her voice she gained in her intellect.

"Voiceless" by Marie McCreadie sounds deeply moving and eye-opening. The author's honest recounting of her struggles with losing her voice as a teenager and the subsequent mistreatment she faced is compelling. I appreciate how the book highlights both the harsh realities of living with a disability and the resilience needed to overcome such challenges. This inspiring story is definitely worth reading. Thank you for the review.

This is a meaningful memoir both from the literal and the metaphorical perspective. We need to address ableism and other forms of oppression that render entire groups of people voiceless. Thank you for your review.

Today's BOTD is a memoir in which Marie shares her emotional story of growing up without a voice after falling ill as a teen. Filled with courage, strength, and resilience, readers will be inspired to never give up and never stop believing in yourself, especially when faced with adversity. This sounds like an amazing book, and I hope all those she grew up with, as well as her teachers, read this so they understand how they failed her throughout this very difficult time in her life. It makes me especially sad to know that individuals who were supposed to protect her from harshness and evil were the very ones who were abusive. :-( I definitely plan to read this; thank you so much for your wonderful review! Bravo!

Thank you for your informative review!

“Voiceless” by Marie McCreadie seems like a very touching and inspirational read. Despite losing her voice when she was a teen, she continued her education and adapted to new ways of communicating. I can only imagine the cruel treatment from those who doubted her condition. In addition it seems like a book that gives us a powerful perspective about living with a disability and how others perceive it. I added it to my future read list.

Congrats #BOTD

I find it disturbing that people treat our disabled population with disrespect. They need to stop and understand the difficulties these individuals face. Thank you for your review.

Marie McCreadie's song "Voiceless" sounds incredibly poignant and enlightening. The author's frank account of her teenage difficulties with voice loss and the abuse she endured as a result is gripping. I like how the book emphasizes the tough realities of having a disability as well as the resiliency required to face such obstacles. Reading this inspirational tale is highly recommended.

"Voiceless by Marie McCreadie is a poignant and honest memoir that delves into the author's struggles with losing her voice during her teenage years. The book highlights her resilience amidst harsh treatment and misunderstanding, particularly from those in her Catholic school. McCreadie's account is both an intimate diary of personal fears and a broader commentary on living with a disability, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in stories of overcoming adversity."
