A poetic and unusually constructed memoir, The Sound of Her Voice is Sara Gelbard's story of her experience growing up on one of the first kibbutzim in Israel and how she was forced to repress her individuality and the self-expression of a normal childhood. This book sensitively follows her personal journey through life from Israel to New York and Uruguay and gives voice to how she finally created a home for herself and in her heart, and healed what she lost.
