How would you communicate about a crime if you couldn’t speak? 🤔

In Angie Kim’s new bestselling novel, #HappinessFalls, there is only person who holds the key to a missing father — his 14-year-old son with Angelman syndrome, a condition in which he can’t talk.

@angiekimask tells @jujuchangabc her experience moving to the U.S. from South Korea as a child helped inspire her new thriller: “I didn’t speak any English and I truly understood for the first time that our society has this really deep-seated assumption that oral fluency is equivalent to intelligence.”

The bestselling author volunteers teaching a creative writing class to non-speakers, many of whom are autistic: “Hopefully, we are starting to top underestimating people based on our perceptions of them.”
