COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Thought provoking submitted by Zekicmom on August 5, 2014, 10:22pm This book is an interesting look into a man's memories of growing up the hearing child of deaf parents and his insight into how it shaped his life. My heart broke at him recalling being awake at night, scared, or hurt, or locked out of his apartment and unable to get his parents' attention.
