Mother Tongue

In this heartfelt memoir, Sara Nović shares her journey from growing up deaf in a hearing world to embracing her identity within the deaf community, exploring the nuances of raising her two children—one hearing, one deaf—within that world. Intertwining her personal story with reflections on American history and social issues, Nović examines the complexities of difference, community, and family. With a bold and engaging voice, she invites readers to see diversity not as a barrier, but as a source of connection and growth.
