520 After three years in the Peace Corps, James, a young
speech therapist, joins the faculty of a school for the
deaf, where he is to teach lip-reading. He meets Sarah, a
school dropout, totally deaf from birth, and estranged
both from the world of hearing and from those who would
compromise to enter that world. Fluent in sign language,
James tries, with little success, to help Sarah, but
gradually the two fall in love and marry. At first their
relationship is a happy and glowing one, as the gulf of
silence between them seems to be bridged by their desire
to understand each other's needs and feelings, but discord
soon develops as Sarah becomes militant for the rights of
the deaf and rejects any hint that she is being patronized
and pitied. In the end the chasm between the worlds of
sound and silence seems almost too great to cross, but
love and compassion hold the hope of reconciliation, and a
deeper, fuller understanding of differences that, in the
final essence, can unite as well as divide.
