In this engaging memoir, Ruth Reppert, a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA), gives a firsthand look into both the Deaf and Hearing Worlds:
Come with me on a journey into my past that is beyond the experience of most individuals.
Glimpse the wonder of living in two worlds, the Deaf World of perpetual silence, and the hearing world of perpetual sounds.
Meet my Deaf parents and their Deaf friends whose lives testify to courageous living as they find their way in the Hearing World.
Be amazed at my unique CODA experience that explains why my Deaf friends affectionately christened me "Half-Hearing and Half-Deaf."
Expand your worldview as you witness incredible events that, in turn, amuse and astound, impress and inform, disturb and displease.
Be forewarned that this journey may leave its mark. It did so for me.
