Love for a Deaf Rebel: Schizophrenia on Bowen Island by Derrick King
4.0
Thanks to NetGalley for the audiobook ARC!
Love for a Deaf Rebel is a heartfelt memoir that deals with some tricky topics. If you've never thought about how a relationship between a deaf individual and an individual that can hear, it may not seem like there's a lot of cultural differences to navigate. I certainly had never thought about it. The author does a great job of illustrating and educating about just how wide that culture gap can be. And then trying to deal with mental illness on top of that, I can just imagine the heartsickness and sorrow. I learned a lot from this book, and enjoyed the read in the process.
