By Haben Girma
I learned a lot about how current technological advances have opened many more doors to the deaf/blind community. Haben's story begins in childhood and progresses to her 20's completing law school. She very accurately describes the range of vision and hearing loss that people can experience, how it affects their daily ability to interact with others, and how they may have to adapt or have learn new methods of communicating as their condition changes over time, as hers did during college. I also learned about a country I'd never heard of - Eritrea - where here parents' immigrated from to the U.S. Enjoyable book!
