Love for a Deaf Rebel: Schizophrenia on Bowen Island

Derrick King

4.9/5 (13160 ratings)

Description:Love for a Deaf Rebel introduces readers to Pearl, a vivacious Canadian woman born into a silent world. With pathos and nostalgia, the hearing author recounts his roller-coaster ride with Pearl, a deaf maverick, who, unknown to him, had paranoid schizophrenia. We follow their encounters through actual conversations written before the author learned sign language; we go on their motorcycle ride to Guatemala; we watch as the happy couple moves to Bowen Island, a British Columbia community with just three paved roads, where Pearl and the author marry and build their dream home and hobby farm. They encounter one obstacle after another while building their life together as Pearl’s perception of reality—and, crucially, their perception of each other—begins to change. There are other books about schizophrenia in the family, such as Hidden Valley Road, and about deaf–hearing relationships, such as Children of a Lesser God, but none that tells the true story of a woman who struggled with both disabilities, and her tumultuous romance. Available in ePub, PDF, and audiobook narrated by actor Joe Vaz. As a tribute to Pearl, all digital editions are free.
