Critics Review
Emily Owen’s memoir is a testament to the courage and resilience of the human spirit. I met Emily over 15 years ago as she was anticipating the drastic operation that would save her life, but would leave her totally without hearing. Emily, a gifted musician, wanted to hear a performance of The Secret Garden, scheduled to open at the Strattford Theater in 2000, several days after her surgery. The theater arranged for her to attend a dress rehearsal. As I sat with her, we exchanged thoughts about musical choices and creative expression. I was deeply moved by her passion and courage as she faced the future of not being able to hear music again with her ears but only with her memory. Not only did Emily survive the ordeal, but the experience widened her appreciation of life, deepened her spirituality and broadened her unique ability to communicate. I would say that Emily Owen is not only STILL EMILY, but a magnified and magnificent Emily; Lucy Simon Singer, songwriter and composer of the musicals The Secret Garden and Dr Zhivago.
