About the book
Hailed as the world’s first Deaf musical—told entirely in American Sign Language and Signed Music—***The Black Drum*** revolves around Joan and her journey to healing after the death of her wife, Karen. Since Karen’s passing, Joan has been unable to share her music with the world, anguish snatching her desire to perform. Joan’s grief pulls her into a bizarre, black-and-white world where her two beautiful tattoos come to life as guides and together they confront a monster called the Minister. But the only way to defeat the Minister and begin to heal is for Joan to embrace her own voice. An epic fantasy about grief and healing, ***The Black Drum*** questions the concept of music we are conditioned to believe, suggesting that music is not just something you hear, it is something you see and feel.
