I'm very impressed with the book content, the information and the knowledge, wisdom and expertise of the author. Her life experiences that have flowed into the lives of others is nothing less than amazing. I definitely look at hearing impairment and deaf people with a new mindset. This book made a definite and lasting impression on me. Thank you Ruth for your sacrifices and generosity.

Ruth pulls you into an intriguing and challenging journey of her experience of being born to two deaf parents. Not only are you introduced to the obstacles of having parents who can't hear you cry, laugh or your words of admiration but you are intrigued with the push of these loving parents to raise a strong, loving and admirable young woman. Ruth has turned her challenges into agents of change for others as she has allowed the Lord to use her circumstances to take her on an amazing journey. A must read!!

This book was amazing! I have been a friend of Ruth for over 60 years and had no idea how involved her life was in the deaf community. Her many accomplishments in her younger years were all news to me - quite an eye-opener. I, also knew her parents - they were self-sufficient in spite of their hearing loss, and they were always smiling:) Thank you, Ruth for your memoirs. I know this book is a dream come true where you shared your life in the hearing and non-hearing worlds.

My aunt, Ruth Reppert, wrote this book. I so enjoyed reading it. It is fascinating and insightful. Even though I knew her parents when I was a child, I didn't know any of the background story of her upbringing. She began learning sign language and interpreting at a very early age. She was thrust into situations that most of us have never had to face; like reading someone's lips, their signing, then interpreting in front of a stadium of people. I also learned that emotion must be added to make the communication complete. She was and still is an advocate for the DEAF population. Imagine yourself unable to hear and being admitted to a hospital; how do you communicate to the doctors and staff? She introduced many such programs to further communication in such situations. You will enjoy this book without a doubt and will learn a great deal in the process. Bravo Aunt Ruth! One further tribute goes to my Uncle Bob, her husband. He loved and supported her along this truly incredible journey. Thank you.
