This is a great book that opens a window into a world that most do not understand and is not meant for the hearing people. It's great and a must read; great insight

This book is a wonderful window into the Deaf world through both deaf and hearing eyes. The author describes what it is like to grow up with two deaf parents. She explains to us what it is like to grow up in a minority group and to have people treat you differently. Lou Ann takes you on a journey from her uneasiness about growing up feeling on the outside to acceptance of her self as well as her parents. When you read the book you will feel everything that she went through. I would reccomend this book to anyone interested in autobiographies, American Sign Language, or Deaf culture.

This book is an excellent way to REALLY learn about deaf people and their families. I loved it! It was also nice to read this book because my husband attended school with this girl and said she was one of the smartest and nicest people he had ever met.
