Her story is fascinating. She describes the sudden loss of her hearing as a toddler, her parents' panicked scramble to find a cure, her sometimes difficult education to learn speech, her difficulties both socially and academically in regular classes from elementary school through college and her highs and very lows seeking social acceptance, managing her finances and keeping the peace with her family. Good luck with your project. Always with love, Lissi ----- Original Message ----- From: Silvara To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, September 14, 2009 9:53 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Looking for autobiography about person with disability Hi Everyone: I need to read a an autobiography about a person with a disability for my class.
