IF A TREE FALLS: A FAMILY’S QUEST
TO HEAR AND BE HEARD

Free and Open to the Public
Just Books is pleased to welcome Jennifer Rosner as she introduces her memoir If A Tree Falls: A Family’s Quest to Hear and be Heard (The Feminist Press at CUNY; $16.95), that explores family, silence, and what it means to be heard. When her daughters are born deaf, Rosner is stunned. Then she discovers a hidden history of deafness in her family, going back generations to the Jewish enclaves of Eastern Europe. Traveling back in time, she imagines her silent relatives, who showed surprising creativity in dealing with a world that preferred to ignore them.
