Hope for the Hearing:
Abandon & Abuse
“Hope for the Hearing: Abandon & Abuse” is a coarse and sincerely moving memoir that draws back the curtain on a childhood teeming with pain, rejection, and stability. Kate Ryan recounts her story of the lifelong battle to claim back her worth, find love past suffering, and finally bring to light the element of healing in the most unpredictable position.
The book carries readers on a brutal trip through a childhood characterized by neglect and emotive scars that refuse to vanish. With a mother who turned her back and a father who left impairments both seen and unseen, Kate floundered to make sense of a world where love appeared conditional, transient, or completely absent.
Despite the gloaming, there were moments of light—sights of strength, acts of defiance, and an indestructible nature that refused to be silenced. As she progresses through the painful truths of rejection, trauma, and seclusion, she also displays the surprising moments of grace, faith, and recovery that led her to peace.
