As winter settles over Martha's Vineyard, Jeffrey Mansfield retraces the history of the island's once-thriving Deaf community, searching for traces of a past where hearing and Deaf people communicated without barriers. Confronting gaps in historical records and his own longing for such a world, he uncovers a deeper question: What does this lost society reveal about the future of language, accessibility, and belonging? Though the details remain elusive, Jeffrey discovers that the mythic power of this history endures.
