Description
Set Me Free (Show Me a Sign, Book 2) by Ann Clare LeZotte is a riveting standalone companion to the Schneider Family Book Award winner. Three years after being kidnapped as a "live specimen" in a cruel experiment, Mary Lambert has grown weary of domestic life and her writing. When an old acquaintance summons her to teach a young deaf girl to communicate, Mary agrees, but discovers that there is much more to the girl's story - and the circumstances of her confinement - than she ever could have imagined. With newfound purpose, Mary arrives at the isolated manor house outside Boston to find teaching this child takes on greater meaning and peril. This searing exposé of ableism, racism, and colonialism challenges readers to think differently about the dignity and capacity within every human being. A masterful stand-alone companion to Show Me a Sign, Set Me Free is a complex and nuanced tale that will keep readers hooked until the very end. Riveting and fervently feminist, this book is a gripping adventure full of twists and turns, as Mary disrupts the prejudices and expectations of the status quo.
