34;The Adventures of A Coda34; by Ruth Reppert could more aptly be described as a journey rather than a book. From the very beginning, Ruth's story transports you back in time to the extent where you feel like you are with her on this ride. Her descriptive words, her insight and the sequence of this beautifully written autobiography grabs you from the very start. Unlike other books about children of deaf parents, Ruth's book describes the positive impact her parent's had on her life and the many beautiful 34;gifts34; they gave her. From the development of her sign language skills to her experiences in the Deaf Club, the love and influence of her parents surely shines through. I absolutely enjoyed every page this book and I know everyone who picks it up will feel the same.

A very interesting read for me, as I have a non-verbal child with special needs. He hears and understands what is said, but his method of communicating with others is through signing. I love your message of teaching the world about signing! Kudos to you for publishing this book.

I enjoyed this book; it was well-written and an easy read. I especially liked the opening chapters, which allowed me to travel back to a time when life was more challenging for Deaf people. I was particularly touched by the life lessons taught and modeled by the author???s dad. Tales of their family???s experiences were quite moving; I was brought to both laughter and tears. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a firsthand glimpse into Deaf culture and Sign Language interpreting.
