Life in Reverse: A Road to Deafiesburg, Deafy Land

By Arthur Grant Dignan

Book Overview

The deaf know what it is like to be the minority in a hearing world, but what if the tables were turned? Join the Bradens, a hearing family, as they accidentally find themselves as the minority in a deaf world. Paul and Mary Braden and their three children, Amy, Joe, and Toni, are on their way home from a month-long vacation when they begin driving through Deafyland, a unique state populated almost entirely by deaf people. Ten miles outside the state's capital, Deafiesburg, a patrol car pulls the family's van over for speeding. The Bradens are surprised to discover that the officer is deaf-and this is just the start of their adventures in Deafyland. A traffic accident leaves them stranded in the town for several days, but what they learn while there expands their horizons in ways they couldn't have imagined. This novella follows a hearing family as they visit the town of Deafiesburg, Deafyland, and gain an unexpected opportunity to learn about a culture that's brand-new to all of them.
