Effie is Deaf, and no one in her family speaks sign language, her language. This heart-filled story of survival and found family is inspired by a true court case.

Effie and her older sister, Deja, have recently moved into their father's trailer after an incident at their mom's house. Daddy communicates with Effie by pointing, stomping on the floor, and making thoughtless jokes. Even if they could understand each other, could Effie tell the terrible secret she carries when telling feels impossible-and dangerous?

But what if telling is the only way to be seen?

Tender, spare, and emotionally charged, Deer Run Home explores what it feels like to be a stranger in your own family and to awaken-through friendship, poetry, and kinship with the natural world-to a new understanding of yourself.
