FIY I am not deaf nor have I had any previous exposure to the Deaf community (hence my wanting to read this book)

I hope everyone, especially us folk who aren't members of the Deaf community read this. I learned so much about audism and ableism I unconsciously carry, both external and internal. Fiona weaves us through her life with ease, power and heart. She dosnt hold back from her inner most thoughts. Though I myself am not deaf, I am disabled in other ways (autistic, ADHD). I could easily empethize with her feelings of loneliness and the pressure one feels to 'mask' their invisible disability.
