Max strives to become certified as a Registered Biological Photographer while straddling the deaf and hearing worlds. He befriends Reynaldo, an impoverished Deaf Mexican, and they go on a number of unusual escapades around the island. At the hospital, Max has to contend with hearing doctors, nurses, scientists, and teachers. While struggling through the rigors of his residency and running into bad luck in meeting women, Max discovers an ally in his hearing housemate Zag, a fellow resident who is also vying for certification. Toward the end of his residency, Max meets Maddy, a Deaf woman who helps bring balance to his life. Author Willy Conley's stories, some humorous, some poignant, reveal Max's struggles and triumphs as he attempts to succeed in the hearing world while at the same time navigating the multicultural and linguistic diversity within the Deaf world"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Interpersonal relations|vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008104850 650 0 People with disabilities|vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008109042 650 0 Deaf culture|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2010015259|vFiction.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001562 650 7 Interpersonal relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/977397 650 7 People with disabilities.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1057245 650 7 Deaf culture.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1764313 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 Fiction.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms /gf2014026339 776 08 |iPrint version:|aConley, Willy.|tDeaf heart.|dWashington, DC : Gallaudet University Press, 2015|w(DLC) 2015029841 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1179845|zOnline eBook.
