It’s No B.S. Mom, I Love You Too!
A poignant account of growing up deaf, and the sweetness of the pieces falling into place in the end.
The extract below is one I can relate to - It echoes my own experience so well.
When I was five, I was diagnosed with a moderate to severe hearing loss. I muddled along in school, receiving a hearing aid in 4th grade and speech therapy. Because I “functioned” so well and was able to keep up my grades, I was pretty much lost in the system. Teachers lavished praise on the “girl with the hearing loss.” My loneliness was often overlooked.
This is touching….
