5.0 out of 5 stars The most captivating book I've ever read., May 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sounds Like Home: Growing Up Black and Deaf in the South (Paperback)

This book makes one feel as if he/she is living the moment(s). The author writes from the depth of her soul and it is evident that she speaks not only of herself, growing up Black and Deaf in the deep South, but also for her other Deaf brothers and sisters whom she came to consider her extended family and the difficulties of adjusting to her hearing loss at such a tender age. This is definitely a "must read" book.
