I was supposed to read this for a Deaf lit class a long time ago, but I never got around to it, and I'm glad I did now. It's such a sweet and nice story, and you can really tell Selznick put work into his research of Deaf community culture. I've watched the same documentary that inspired half of this book, and I understand how it did inspire that. I wish there'd been a little more of the in-between for Rose as a kid and as a grandmother, just because I was a little confused when we jumped up in her time so suddenly. Still, I loved this story, and I would definitely recommend it.
