The Sign for Home

內容簡介

內容簡介 亞羅‧迪利年輕、英俊，想找到命中注定的那個女孩，但他有一點和別人不同─他是個聾盲人士，他的監護人叔叔是超級虔誠的「耶和華見證人」教派信徒，認為這世界上所有的一切都由惡魔統治。亞羅的世界只有叔叔，教派兄弟，跟他的觸覺手語老師，對於教派的種種限制，亞羅感到非常痛苦和不自由。在他模糊的記憶裡，當他還有視力時，在寄宿學校曾有那麼一個女孩，黝黑的瞳眸，一雙漂亮細緻的手打著手語，告訴他各種奇妙的故事，直到一個意外發生，讓他覺得自己此生再也找不到那個女孩了。但亞羅的生活，在新的觸覺手語翻譯員後出現180度大轉變，賽洛和他見過的任何人都不一樣，風趣，大膽，還有一個比利時男朋友漢那，他為亞羅的人生揭開另一道完全不同的路途，亞羅終於開口向人傾訴他心中的煩惱與創傷；而他的第二位手語翻譯員茉莉，同樣是「耶和華見證人」信徒，認為賽洛會帶給亞羅邪惡的影響，極力阻止他們互動，但亞羅這次決定不乖乖就範！他和賽洛與漢那，要一同尋找那個黑色眼睛的女孩，將失去的愛找回來！When a young DeafBlind man learns the girl he thought was lost forever might still be out there, he embarks on a life-changing journey to find her—and his freedom.Arlo Dilly is young, handsome, and eager to meet the right girl. He also happens to be DeafBlind, a Jehovah’s Witness, and under the strict guardianship of his controlling uncle and unscrupulous Tactile ASL interpreter. His chances of finding someone to love seem slim to none.And yet, it happened once before: many years ago, at a boarding school for the Deaf. Arlo met the love of his life—a mysterious girl with onyx eyes and beautifully expressive hands which told him the most amazing stories. But tragedy struck, and their love was lost forever. Or so Arlo thought.After years spent nursing his broken heart, Arlo attends a writing class where a new unfiltered interpreter is assigned to him. Against the wishes of his guardians, the new interpreter provides Arlo with access to a world he had no idea existed. Memories from his past are unlocked. Soon he wonders if the hearing people he was supposed to trust have been lying to him all along, and if his lost love might be found again.No longer willing to accept what others tell him, Arlo convinces his new best friends (his gay interpreter and a rebellious Belgian barista) to set off on a journey to learn the truth. Despite the many forces working against him, Arlo will stop at nothing to find the girl who got away and experience all of life’s joyful possibilities.“Tender, hilarious and decidedly uplifting,” (BookPage), The Sign for Home is a “poignant…riveting” (Los Angeles Times), fresh and charming romance that you won’t soon forget."
