The book is as described. It took awhile to follow the story lines, but beginning near the middle and through the end of the book, it came together very clearly and nicely. It gives a good understanding into the deaf education experience at a residential school, the Deaf culture and its intermingling among the hearing world, while also injecting humor and depicting the need to know the importance of ASL as a language in and with deaf individuals.

This novel cum autobiography delves deep into deaf society, including its CODA community. It brilliantly illustrates life in the deaf/CODA world, and the tension with the hearing world.
