Customer Reviews: Alandra's Lilacs - Moving Story of a Mother and Her Deaf Daughter February 22, 2008 Alandra's mother makes a compelling narrator for this story about raising a deaf child. Her words will make important reading for any hearing parent who has just been told that their child is deaf, and it examines some of the issues that have to be considered, including the decision to learn sign language or wait for the child to learn to speak. This last is a decision that will have consequences for the entire life of the child, and will affect the relationship between parent and child for the rest of their lives. Awesome insight for all hearing parents of deaf children September 11, 1999 16 out of 19 found this review helpful A great read for everyone interested in the challenges facing hearing parents of deaf children. Alandra's Lilacs was engaging to read and I did not put the book down until I was finished. This book really demonstrated that deafness only creates a new way to communicate and is not a disability. EXCELLENT!!!! A must read for any hearing parent of a deaf child. August 24, 1999 7 out of 7 found this review helpful This book is a beautiful insight into the real life trials and choices that are faced when raising a successful deaf child. A must read for all hearing parents of deaf children as well as all deaf educators.
