Speak to Me

By Marcia Calhoun Forecki

Marcia Calhoun Forecki has written an engrossing, personal account of her life with Charlie, an adorable, active, deaf seven-year-old. Speak to Me is the story of an ordinary hearing person confronted with an overwhelming reality--the fact that her son is deaf. Forecki's struggle as a single parent to care for her child, to find the "right" schools, and to establish communication with her son will strike a familiar chord in all hearing parents of deaf children. All readers, parents or not, will be touched by the mixture of pathos and humor in this well-written account.

Very Interesting

This book was very interesting. I am in an ASL class for school and this book made me realize another world that I didn't fully understand. This book should be read by any ASL student, and any parent of deaf children.
