Meet Jackie, Chuck, Jonathon, and Jamee-four people intricately
linked by the common thread of disability. Roots and Fences tells
of their life experiences, as well as their friends and families,
from a phenomenological perspective. It's a compelling collection
that exposes the reality of life for those with intellectual
disabilities and the people who love them. Through these connective
stories spanning over 50 years, you will laugh, cry, share in the
adventures, meet the families, and perhaps even change your views
about those who are labeled "disabled." "As I read, I felt I was
reading something epic. Sharon calls it generational. She seems to
be in the ideal location to witness all these stories of disability
and how they progressed to more positive outcomes. The story starts
with Jackie in 1937, then moves through the '60s with Chuck and
continues to the present with Jonathon and Jamee. Through all the
stories an epic meta-story takes form." - Adam Baez, Special
Educator. "Instructive and entertaining, Roots and Fences takes us
to a place inside families that encourages us to consider
possibilities rather than focus on limitations. Along the way, we
are saddened, angered, amused, touched, uplifted, and empowered.
Above all, we find reasons to be optimistic about the future of
people with disabilities."-Tom Mihail, PhD, Chair of Special
Education, Graduate Studies in Education, Purdue University
Calumet.
