Hi, Rosie, another thank you for your wonderful review. Glad you got what I was trying to do; get kids who won't read reading! Including a lot of young gearheads, as I was. You have a great husband, by the way. My wife has tried to teach me ASL, I do know the sign for "BS." She helps folks who are deaf and hard of hearing get jobs. It's where we met, I work with TBI survivors. They're the kids who do, not read. ?

I am forever thankful for books. They are a great escape from the craziness that is going on in the world today.
It frustrates me when people who write about Deaf people actually incorporate any old signs, all willy nilly, without actually interacting with the Deaf community to find out what is correct. Many people just assume that sign language is the same in every country, but each country has its own unique signs. AUSLAN is based on BSL, for example, whereas ASL is based on French Sign, which is where it originated.
I enjoyed your book, and look forward to reading more of your work in the future :)

Thank you for the reply. I have submitted the forms and paid for an express review. I found no way to request you as the reviewer or to send it to you with a note? It being a sequel to "The Willing" which you reviewed. I hope you will have the time to review this book. Thank You Gary Smith
