The New York Times bestselling author of True Biz retraces her path out of the hearing world and into the deaf community - and seeks to understand what it means to raise children who are different from her - in this emotionally rich memoir.
'A book I want to press into everyone's hands - disabled or not. This meticulously researched exploration of d/Deaf culture and history dismantles everyday ableism with precision, tracing Novi¿'s journey from isolation to disability activism. It's a book that refuses to let us look away from how we fail disabled people - and shows us how we can do better' Esmé Weijun Wang, author of The Collected Schizophrenias
'A stirring personal tale of coming of age as a deaf woman in America, woven through with a sweeping portrait of deaf history and culture, it resonates with an impassioned call to action, an appeal to decency and equality for people of all abilities and disabilities' Thomas Fuller, author of The Boys of Riverside
'In this enraging history and big-hearted family saga, Sara Novi¿ has skillfully subverted the dividing lines of identity, her deafness becoming the thread that connects us all' Sierra Crane Murdoch, author of Yellow Bird
'An unruly, defiant, and breathtaking history of becoming... about how ordinary people dismantle oppression one word, one sign, one bold act of love at a time' Greg Marshall, author of Leg
'Funny, intimate, honest, and deeply moving. At the same time, it's full of rich historical detail, dazzling critical inquiry, and political fury. I finished it - as I do all of Novi¿'s work- brimming with equal parts rage and hope' Andrew Leland, author of The Country of the Blind
'One of the most powerful memoirs I have read in years, a book I defy anyone to read without being challenged or changed. . . . A revelation and a reckoning' Nicole Chung, author of A Living Remedy
'Novi¿ gets to the heart of humanness without making loss, grief, or difference a disadvantage... A miracle of a book' Porochista Khakpour, author of Sick
