My aunt, Ruth Reppert, wrote this book. I so enjoyed reading it. It is fascinating and insightful. Even though I knew her parents when I was a child, I didn't know any of the background story of her upbringing. She began learning sign language and interpreting at a very early age. She was thrust into situations that most of us have never had to face; like reading someone's lips, their signing, then interpreting in front of a stadium of people. I also learned that emotion must be added to make the communication complete. She was and still is an advocate for the DEAF population. Imagine yourself unable to hear and being admitted to a hospital; how do you communicate to the doctors and staff? She introduced many such programs to further communication in such situations. You will enjoy this book without a doubt and will learn a great deal in the process. Bravo Aunt Ruth! One further tribute goes to my Uncle Bob, her husband. He loved and supported her along this truly incredible journey. Thank you.
