"This book deals with tough topics that hit me in the heart from the beginning. A deaf child whose family never learned ASL and can’t communicate with her. Deer that keep getting hit on the busy street and dying right on front of her eyes. This was a "

"I really enjoyed this historical fiction middle-grade book about the deaf community that thrived on Martha's Vineyard in the 1800s. I had no idea! It was engaging, fast-paced, and interesting. I recommended it to the ASL teacher at our middle school,"

“They said 'specialist children's wards,'
But they meant children-killing centers.
They said 'final medical assistance'
But they meant murder.”

“Silence. I'm sure that many hearing people, especially those who don't know the deaf, imagine our lives are filled with silence. That's not true. If my mind and heart are full of energy and fun, and I'm looking ahead with excitement, I don't feel silent at all. I buzz like a bee in good times. Only in bad times, when I am numb and full of sadness, does everything turn silent. Like out house with just Mama and me in it.”

“The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.”
― Letters of Ted Hughes

“Follow, poet, follow right
To the bottom of the night,
With your unconstraining voice
Still persuade us to rejoice;
With the farming of a verse
Make a vineyard of the curse,
Sing of human unsuccess
In a rapture of distress;
In the deserts of the heart
Let the healing fountain start,
In the prison of his days
Teach the free man how to praise.”

I am because of the dust.
And what I am is good enough.
Even for me.”
