Marisol Higuera
The following narrative you are about to read is from a journal written at the turn of the year 2001-2002. The story begins in a remote fish camp in Baja California Sur on the Pacific Ocean at the mouth of La Purisima River. It is the remarkable story of a young girl, about to turn eleven, who was born deaf.

She remained isolated and untrained for more than a decade, a beach child as her name implies -- Marisol -- sea and sun. Ultimately only time will tell if our intervention was cruel or kind. This is her story.
