If a Tree Falls


If a Tree Falls is a new book written by Jennifer Rosner who's two daughters were born deaf. Rosner has a Ph.D. in philosophy from Stanford. She discovered a hidden ancestry line of deaf women in her family that can be traced all the way to Europe. Rosner’s book also details what some would consider controversial decisions she and her husband had to make about surgeries, sign language, and hearing aids. Two deaf great-great aunts of hers lived in the 1800s.
