"In his memoir, David Sorensen explores his identity as a Coda, or a child of Deaf adults. He describes his experiences with the roles often placed on Codas at a young age, such as interpreter, confidant, and decision-maker. His story reveals a person seeking acceptance and belonging while straddling the Deaf and hearing worlds, and shows how he found reconciliation within himself and with both worlds." -- Publisher's description
