About
It cannot have been easy accepting and learning to cope witha severe hearing impediment in a world full of sound, but Emily Pamon has notonly done so with courage, but has learned to make light of her impediment and recordsome of her experiences on paper in most delightfully humorous and entertainingmanner.
It cannot always have been easy for her, but nothing hasdeterred her from living her life to the full and indulging her passion forhorses. Choosing to work on the Equestrian scene, much of her time is spent inthe stable yard, and from her early years onwards some of the situations inwhich she has found herself, and reactions oftimes encountered, would possiblyhave been deemed far from funny…But this lady has learned to laugh at herselfand at life, and in doing so now gives enjoyment to others in her writings. Herquick mind and witty repartee have resulted in not merely acceptance of herdetriment, but the ability to rise above negative issues and turn them intosatirical humour. Emily has recountedsome of her experiences in her first book “The Grey Matter”, which is far fromany maudlin account of the pitfalls of being deaf. Quite theopposite. It is light-hearted, fun toread, and gives a huge insight into her obviously warm and vibrantcharacter. Self-pity is nowhere in thislady’s curriculum, and her attitude is much to be admired.
Although a very private person who prefers to keep thingsthat way, we do know that Emily is married, and from her writing it is obvious sheis a great animal lover; the latter comes to the fore particularly in her ‘between-the-lines’recounting of her relationship with her beloved horse.
Emily’s jovial personality and the wonderful attitude sheshows to the world in the face of her difficulties, hides a very courageous andwarm soul, and we hope that having now had her very first book published, shewill continue to write - as an encouragement and example to all.
