The Sound of Us by Sarah Willis

This is a well-written story of a lonely ASL interpreter who gets unexpectedly involved in a little girl’s life.  It gives the reader a look at the foster-care system, although I think it may be a little too rosy of a picture.  The narrator deals with the recent death of her twin as she tries to help the child.  Unfortunately, I had to stop reading it because there was too much offensive language.  Why, oh why, do authors think that is necessary?  The narrator is an educated woman.  Surely she can be a believable character without frequently using the “f” word.  So I just skipped to the end to see what happened.
