This gripping, stand-alone story, set in the world of the
award-winning Show Me a Sign and Set Me Free, completes a unique
and unforgettable trilogy that centers the d/Deaf experience.
"Thrilling, important, and profoundly moving. A true gift." --
Brian Selznick, creator of the New York Times bestsellers Big Tree
and The Invention of Hugo Cabret, winner of the Caldecott Medal "A
compelling adventure . . . timeless!" -- Lynne Kelly, author of the
Schneider Family Book Award winner Song for a Whale "This book is
*kissfist*!!!" -- Alex Gino, award-winning author of Melissa and
Green As a young teacher on Martha's Vineyard, Mary Lambert feels
restless and adrift. So when a league of missionaries invite her to
travel abroad, she knows it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Paris is home to a pioneering deaf school where she could meet its
visionary instructors Jean Massieu and Laurent Clerc--and bring
back their methods to America! But the endeavor comes at a cost:
The missionaries' plan to "save" deaf children is questionable at
best--and requires Mary's support. What's more, the missionaries'
work threatens the Wampanoag and other Native peoples' freedom and
safety. Is pursuing Mary's own goals worth the price of betraying
her friends and her own values? So begins a feverish and fraught
adventure. Brimming with vivid detail and startling insight, Sail
Me Away Home will enrich your understanding of the d/Deaf
experience as it celebrates d/Deaf history, culture, and community.
