Written by the daughter of an administrator for the Lexington School for the Deaf in NYC, this book is truly an insider's experience as she and her two siblings are raised within the residential portion of the school. Although Leah and her family have normal hearing, they are integrated into the deaf ASL culture at Lexington. Her essays address topics relating to mainstreaming in public schools, the beauty and versatility of American Sign Language, cultural aspects relating to deafness and language, and funding difficulties for public residential schools. I highly recommend this thought-provoking memoir.
