I Was The Youngest And Only Girl

I'm Not Really Deaf; I Just Faked It To Win The Oscar Kidding.

I've Always Wanted To Write A Book Relating My Experiences Growing Up As A Deaf Child In Chicago. Contrary To What People Might Think, It Wasn't All About Hearing Aids And Speech Classes Or Frustrations.

I'm Different, And My Manner Invites Questions. I'm Never Afraid To Answer.

There Are Many Deaf People Who Couldn't Imagine Living In A Marriage Without Someone Who Doesn't Speak Their Language. For Me, I Believe That Hearing Or Deaf Is Fine As Long As Both Parties Are Willing To Communicate In Each Other's Language. But If There's No Communication, Then The Marriage, I Believe, Will Be Difficult If Not Doomed.

It Was Ability That Mattered, Not Disability, Which Is A Word I'm Not Crazy About Using.
