Rachel Sarah Godwin was born with a birth defect. Her parents taught her, by word and example, to face it–and all of life’s challenges–with grace, courage and determination. One day, years later, as a retired registered nurse and attorney, she was suddenly stricken with severe tinnitus–a condition which afflicts many millions of people world-wide. Unable to find a cure, Rachel sought and eventually discovered tinnitus-free islands which would console her and help her endure the constant barrage of irritating noise. Her narrative is meant to inspire, encourage, and offer practical, inexpensive ideas for tinnitus sufferers everywhere.
