I really enjoyed this novel, mostly for what I learned about the deaf community, its successes and its battles.
The first time I discovered the beauty of ASL was in college watching a family in a restaurant signing, later I saw the National Theater of the Deaf perform Dylan Thomas' A Child's Christmas in Wales on PBS. Then there was Children of a Lesser God .
For a year or so, I've been enjoying Nicky Elliot's videos " Signing to the Oldies " which are delightful. This month, I happened on True Biz . Behind the Green Door . The ASL is so smooth and I love the old songs that Nicky chooses.
