Gail asked Patricia Davids:

I just finished reading your newest book as of February 2021, SOMEONE TO TRUST. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about all of the current hearing treatments and surgeries available. How or where did you get the inspiration to write about this beautiful deaf woman?

Patricia Davids Hi Gail. Thanks for your question. My father became progressively more deaf with age. We were able to convince him to try a bone anchored hearing aid and it made a world of difference. When I first wanted to write this story my editor cautioned me against "fixing" my deaf heroine so I turned to the internet for information on the Deaf culture from their prospective and Esther grew out of what I learned.
