“This compelling true-life story deals with a single parent making the
discovery that her 1 ˝-year-old son is deaf.” --Rehabilitation Literature
“With humor and openness she describes her denial of his deafness, her
frustrations in dealing with family and experts, and her ultimate decision
to put her son in a special school. Parents of all children will identify
with both the joys and problems Forecki has experienced.” --Library Journal Marcia Calhoun Forecki has written an engrossing, personal account of her life with Charlie, an adorable, active, deaf seven-year-old. Speak to Me! is the story of an ordinary hearing person confronted with an overwhelming reality—the fact that her son is deaf.

All readers, parents or not, will be touched by the mixture of pathos and humor in this well-written account.
