honest and open by cafurg (Indianapolis, USA) 5 Stars
June 12, 2006
Honest, open, and very well written. Authors parents and my parents are long time friends. Although I do not know the author, we probably met as kids. The deaf community is a very close knit group. Deaf parents are very caring and loving. It's a one day, cover to cover read.

As a hearing person raised among the deaf, Cohen appreciates both the intimate textures of that silent world and the gulf that separates it from our own.
