A poignant memoir in verse journeys with twin sisters — one Deaf and one hard of hearing — around the world.
“One of life’s most delightful occurrences is being introduced to a world you didn’t realize existed and certainly didn’t understand. Kelly Sargent pulls the curtain back on the struggles and giggles of twin sisters—one deaf, one partially deaf—and they’re innocent solutions to communication. Using sign language is not a new concept, but when you’re a child without access to a formal language, you do what is natural—you create your own.

A poetry chapbook includes reflections on
twinhood, deafness, and “the mirrors through
which we see, lose, and find ourselves again.”
Kelly Sargent’s memoir in verse is a story of love shared between hearing impaired twin sisters and the loss felt when they separate as preteens. They are abandoned at birth in Luxembourg and adopted by a military couple. The responsibility Sargent feels for her smaller twin, born deaf, fuels her to take on the roles of sign language interpreter and teacher as they travel the world. When her twin later enrolls in a residential school for the Deaf, Sargent experiences her twin’s daily absence as a profound loss. She then begins a search for her own identity and place in a world without a mirror | |  | | Sundae Sundays - Winner 2023 Firebird Book Award (Children’s Inspirational)
