Falling Idols

A young woman's search for identity, independence, courage, and love in the tumultuous '60s.  
A coming-of-age novel with insights of the Oscar-winning movie "CODA" and its predecessor "Children of a Lesser God." This revelatory story unveils the struggle for
Deaf Rights and Sign Language in the public schools. A struggle that that walked hand-in-hand with the
Civil Rights and Anti-War movements in the late ‘60s.
