For three years, Jenny and Danny Corelli's oldest son, Jonah, was institutionalized. His doctor thought Jonah was mentally retarded. Jonah's parents brought their deaf son home to live with them and his brother, Anthony. Jonah had behavior problems, such as throwing his food on the floor and hiding his brother's Spider-man doll. He stole money from Jenny's purse to visit Grandfather at the marketplace. Jenny was frustrated because the speech therapist and audiologist didn't believe in teaching sign language to their patients. Jenny and Danny separated after Jonah was nearly hit by a car while bike riding on the street.
