Set Me Free by Ann Clare LeZotte

5.0

Just like "Show Me a Sign", I absolutely loved Ann Clare LeZotte's ability to write history and deaf culture into a riveting fiction book. This second adventure of Mary's was engaging and heartbreaking, because as LeZotte notes in her Author's Note, while the characters are fictitious, the treatment of both Indigenous people and Deaf people throughout history has harmed many and left others behind. I thought the story told was an important one and found myself rooting for Mary throughout the book and beyond, hoping that the character had the opportunity to change more lives by introducing MVSL to those not familiar with it.
