My deaf friend has problem trying to explain to her inlaws about deaf culture. They thought that there's no such thing as "deaf culture" and thought it was ridiculous. They don't understand why she watches tv at their house or doesn't enjoy being with them since they do not sign. She dreads going there for birthdays and holidays because she's always left out. They refuse to take sign language classes since she could talk. She's deaf so she's lost when the inlaws talk with each other.
I need your recommendation on good deaf culture book so that they would understand better what it's like to be deaf and why she has been feeling left out. When I get several recommendations, I will suggest them to her so she would buy the books for them. Thanks for your help.
