Wow.
I started reading this book because of the true perspective of a man who lost his hearing. Even as someone who loves music and was interested in Matt’s story, I stayed for the storytelling, wisdom, and family connections that went above and beyond what I expected out of this book.
Matt tells his story in a beautiful way, and his wisdom and intelligence shines through his perspective, all the way from when he was a child to the end of the book.
As a very fun side note, I greatly enjoyed reading some of the personal details he shared about himself, his wife, and their family. His father-in-law’s relationship with his wife reminds me deeply of my own with my stepdad, right down to the intellectual conversations over books and Hershey’s chocolate bars.
Whether you’re looking to learn from someone else’s perspective, gain insight into the Deaf community, or read about family and faith, you are sure to find a friend in this book.
