<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"It only takes one spark of love to change the world forever. Mabel Hubbard Bell was a strong, self-assured woman bright, passionate, and a complete original. Despite a near-fatal case of childhood scarlet fever that cost her the ability to hear, she learned to talk and lip-read in multiple languages. At nineteen, she married a young inventor named Alexander Graham Bell and became the most significant influence in his life. This is Mabels story, offering the unique perspective of a woman whose remarkable life was forever connected to her famous, distracted husband. From inspiring invention to promoting public service, Mabel and Alec challenged each other to become strong forces for good. Silence is a beautiful and true love story about how we communicate."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It only takes one spark of love to change the world forever.</p> <p>Mabel Hubbard Bell was a strong, self-assured woman--bright, passionate, and a complete original.
