SOAR
A story of defying every expectation
About the book
After becoming deaf aged three, Carl Morris was told he would never read well, never hold a skilled job and never function in the 'hearing' world. As an adult, he became the youngest ever World 8-Ball Pool Champion, the first deaf person to trek the last degree to the North Pole and raised over £1m for charity.
Carl’s journey has never been plain sailing. From growing up deaf in a world where sound is everywhere to dealing with personal grief, he’s faced hurdles at every step. But SOAR is a story about meeting challenges head-on, with honesty, humour and a healthy dose of resilience.
SOAR is a memoir about sport, about deafness, about family, about adventure, about the surprising twists and turns of life and the kindness of strangers (one in particular). Whatever you’ve been reading, you haven’t read anything like SOAR.
Sample extract
"The Day The World Stopped Speaking..."
"Night night sweetie," I heard my mother murmur as she tenderly stroked my face. As I lay snuggled and content in my hospital bed, my head gently resting on her lap, I let myself slowly drift off to sleep.
"Night night Mummy." "We love you." Those were the last words I would ever hear.
