HRM Waiting for a Sign P7390169HRM-B1305 https://cdnimages.opentip.com/full/HRM/HRM-B1305.jpg Waiting for a Sign Written by clinical social worker Esty Schachter, Waiting for a Sign celebrates the beauty and power of Deaf culture, offering readers ages 11 and up an opportunity for insight and understanding.OverviewSiblings Shelly and Ian used to be close, but after Ian leaves home to attend the Hawthorne School for the Deaf, Shelly feels abandoned, and the two drift apart.When Ian returns home with news that the future of Hawthorne is in jeopardy, Shelly isn\'t sure she wants him back. And Ian, who has enjoyed being around students and staff who sign all the time, feels angry when his family forgets to do the same.An explosive argument that could drive brother and sister further apart actually offers hope for reconciliation-a hope that grows as Shelly\'s spirited best friend, Lisa, helps strengthen their bond.The siblings grow closer still when they find themselves coping with an unexpected tragedy. To fully heal her relationship with Ian, however, Shelly needs to acknowledge and understand why Hawthorne-and access to the Deaf community-is so important to him. To do so, she\'ll need to take action and stop waiting for a sign. [Esty Schachter; (2014) 124 pages; soft cover]About the AuthorEsty Schachter is a writer and clinical social worker.
