'True Biz' Depicts Life at a School for the Deaf

The new novel True Biz tells the story of Deaf teenagers enrolled at the River Valley School for the Deaf, and their headmistress, a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA) facing the possible closure of the school. Along with vivid storytelling, the book features mini ASL lessons and facts about the history of Deaf culture. Author Sara Nović, herself a Deaf educator and advocate, joins us to discuss. A video is embedded in the segment page for those who wish to engage with this interview in ASL. Our interpreter was Genaere Lowery.
