"This book was better than the first two. I haven't read a book (since Hellen Keller...forever ago) told through the perspective of a deaf person. It was an interesting perspective. This one I had a hard time putting down....or actually stop listening to the CD. "

" good love story about a rich boy and a deaf girl infatuated with someone else. "
— Nicole, 11/17/2013" Not entirely convincing in its portrayal of the lip reading skills of the deaf twin, Grace. However, a good description of the culture shock when she leaves the protected cocoon of her family home and enters the formal world back East. "
