Train Gone (an expression in American Sign Language meaning “you missed out”) is the story of a young CODA (Child Of Deaf Adults) who grew up interpreting scriptural instruction at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses for her Deaf parents. At the inexperienced age of sixteen, Rebekah rebels, gets disfellowshipped from the Kingdom Hall, and immediately loses her family and footing. She then finds herself in therapy, sifting through sharp pieces of her life while straddling both the Deaf and hearing world. All in a desperate attempt to make sense of her own quotidian existence.
