This work combines autobiographical sources, personal interviews, and questions for reflection to explore issues relevant to everyone's sexual orientation or gender status, be they heterosexual or gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or intersexual. Very few books address these topics for low-vision readers. Considering older readers with vision changes: more GLBTI people than ever before are moving to assistive living and other care environments. Tools to help them be open about who they are, and to help those around them be more understanding, are very important.
Silent Lives is helpful for personal journaling and sharing with relatives and friends, and is also very useful as a college text, therapy supplement, or a catalyst for group discussions. This book will provide insights and inspire conversations for low-vision readers (of every age) that can help improve understandings and connections for everyone involved. The standard-sized text edition is available with a full index.
