Wow. This book is a great insight into the Deaf World. It is a fantastic story of her experience, and it is so honest. It should be a must read for every hearing student.

I couldn't put the book down. I finished it in less than two weeks. I am beginning to learn and appreciate there is a Deaf Culture that needs to be shared with and taught to the hearing world. The author was very open about her life as a hearing child that grows up with Deaf parents, and for the most part is their interpreter in the hearing world. I like how she teaches how an American Sign Language word would be signed, when she explains certain instances that are happening. I loved the depth to which she exposes her mentality of what it was actually like in her immediate and extended family. The book was filled with love and written with humility and humor. When I got finished reading it, my first thought was I would like to know what her parents who are deaf would write about their life from their viewpoint. I thought the author brought a lot of light and dignity to her parents in this book.

Great book!!! Gives you an idea of what a family can go through when coming across difficulties and how they handled it. Great view from the authors perspective of how one can feel when one takes up a role because they feel they have to in order to help. I was able to relate to it....loved it!!

Fast delivery and good quality book!

My son had to read a book for ASL and this is what we chose. I ended up skimming through it and while it is 34;older34; I really enjoyed it. The struggle of having parents who are deaf and feeling embarrassed as a child and then growing up and understanding.

VERY GOOD

Love the story about a CODA

This book was great.

Product arrived in a timely manner however description stated it was in a very good condition and the inside pages were. However the front cover was a bit more damaged to be considered very good. Other than that it was a great product with a great insights. One of the best books I have read.
