Customer Reviews: Read 3 more reviews... A Wonderful Book!! January 10, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I could not put this book down! A well written and extremely discriptive story! I felt every emotion! Sounds like home to me February 28, 2004 I really enjoyed this book. The author described every moment in her life with such detail, it felt as if I were there with her. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants inspiration. Sounds Like Home: Growing Up Black and Deaf in the South July 16, 2002 This book desperately wanted to be "Having Our Say" by the Delaney Sisters. Perhaps, if it had an editor, it would have been. As it stands, it provides a historical perspective of African American Deaf culture, but its text does not flow very smoothly. Dare I say.... May 1, 2002 0 out of 1 found this review helpful that I found this ... well ... boring? I suppose, on the one hand, I should be glad that Ms. Wright had a relatively uneventful and happy life, despite growing up both black and disabled in the mid-20th century rural south; but, frankly, happy and uneventful lives don't make for very interesting reading.
