In This Sign

I highly recommend that you read this book! Here's what The New York Times says about it: "Joanne Greenberg has taken the world of the deaf and made it an extension of everyone's experience - made it a metaphor for childish innocence, for grown-up alienation and loneliness...and for the inability of all of us to truly listen and speak."

It's a beautiful but sad story of a deaf couple who have hearing children and what life is like for this type of family. Of course, not ALL families are the same, but my guess is that this is a true picture of many if not most families who live with Deaf and Hearing.
