Hurt Go Happy is this book that I randomly picked up in the library. I was just waiting in line to get on the computers and check my email and I saw the book. That was yesterday and I am almost done with it today.
If you know me you know that I'd rather play catch at the beach or do anything other than read a book. I can’t even focus on the books that everyone loves like Harry Potter. So this book must be good.
It’s about a girl who went deaf after her father beat her. Her mother wouldn’t leave him and he eventually beat her until her hearing was completely lost. Her mother finally got the courage to walk away, but for reason she wouldn’t let her daughter learn sign language. She said it would expose her handicap. Joey, the daughter, meets an old man who has a chimp that was orphaned in Africa while he and his wife were giving medical attention to people who couldn’t afford it. His wife dies so he devotes all his time to Sukari, the chimp. She is pretty much his daughter; he knows sign language because both of his parents were deaf.
It’s a good book. I can’t put it down, even though I just did, but that was only to tell you that it’s a good one!
