Part biography and part commentary, in the book you will find delightful and engaging stories that chronicle a deaf studies professor's journey the the hearing world into the Deaf world.
Based on her experiences from life on the farm, to her triumph of establishing a college level deaf studies program, you will see her challenge the system in ways that make everyone in her wake give things a second thought.
Forging her own path, she finds success by balancing both worlds. Embracing Deaf Culture, as well as hearing culture, she bridges a gap that benefits both.
