I read this book for a second time after many years and probably got no more out of it than the first time I read it. The family struggles when dealing with a family with many challenges (hearing disorders) was interesting, but the writing was nothing special. I am pleased that the book ended on a positive note.
This book was fine to learn about the hearing impaired community, and how a family dealt with their hearing impaired daughters. Some fiction was interspersed, but it added very little to the book, as the writing was journalistic.
