New book by deafBlind woman -- "through the tunnel . . ."
Hi everyone! Angie Orlando is a remarkable woman who is deaf-blind. I
first met her as an O&M client many years ago, a few weeks before she
carried out a brazen escape from her abusive husband with her young son, and
I've been enjoying her messages and musings ever since.
She just came out with her first book, and I'm sure it's going to be
interesting -- I'm attaching a flier and copying the info below. enjoy!

Using a mixture of prose and poetry, Angie C. Orlando shares indelible
stories about growing up in a small Ohioan town, complete with posing for
family pictures, watching high school football games, and playing saxophone
in a marching band. Yet she is equally funny and unflinchingly honest about
how classmates, medical professionals, and others have viewed her multiple
disabilities, all of which had gradually became apparent over time. Through
it all, she leaves her abusive husband and endures her brother's suicide to
become her own person.
"Angie C. Orlando's prose is poetic and plainspoken at the same time. It
slips into your heart and settles there to tell an unforgettable tale.
Through the Tunnel bears testimony to our capacity for coping with change
and transcending trauma." -John Lee Clark, author of Where I Stand: On the
Signing Community and My DeafBlind Experience
Angie C. Orlando lives in Kent, Ohio with her son and two cats.

Seconding that she is a wonderful human being with an amazing story. I've
had the pleasure of providing to her and instructing her in the use of a
number of refreshable Braille solutions over the years.
Looking forward to reading the book!
