[LM_NET] LM_NET: HIT: Deaf Culture

[Lisa Gonzalez <lgonzalez@VCS.NET>]

I got numerous responses to my request for books on deaf culture (high school 
level).  Thanks to all who replied!  Most people recommended Of Sound Mind by Jean 
Ferris.  Here are the other suggestions I received:

Deaf in America: Voices from a Culture by Carol Padden and Tom Humphries
Train Go Sorry: Inside a Deaf World by Leah Hager Cohen
HURT, GO HAPPY by Ginny Rorby
Hands of My Father: A Hearing Boy, His Deaf Parents, and the Language of Love by 
Myron Uhlberg
Everybody Here Spoke Sign Language by Nora Ellen Groce
Apple is My Sign by Mary Riskind

Someone also recommended this site.  It lists books with deaf characters
