When John McGough was born with Down syndrome, his mother, Lee, was told to place him in an institution by everyone she trusted-her doctor, her priest, her mother and her husband. She refused, and took John home. In the years that followed, John's presence in the family taught his mother, four brothers and a sister unique and invaluable lessons about loving and caring. But outside of the family, in urban Los Angeles, John faced a world of prejudice and rejection. When he graduated out of his "extended family" at a special high school and faced the rejections of the outside world, he became increasingly depressed. Then, John's life changed. His mother remarried, and moved the family from the city to the warm and accepting cocoon of a small town on the Northern California coast. John blossomed, as an artist and a musician, and, more importantly, as a beloved member of the community. In a stunning climax to the film, and to John's life so far, he invited his "town family" to share in the celebration of his twenty-sixth birthday, and 200 people showed up. This inspiring film challenges stereotypes about the handicapped. It shows how the attitudes of society can encourage or destroy a person who is disabled. " And Then Came John" pays tribute to a remarkable man and the community that nurtured him. High School College Adult

"This is a fascinating, enjoyable book. It could well be used in study groups at the high school or college level to explore both history and attitudes toward deafness."--Rehabilitation Literature"The editors are not enthralled, as so many of us seem to be, simply that deaf (or disabled) characters exist in literature; they ask why... The rest of the disability movement could learn from them."--The Disability RagDickens, Welty, and Turgenev are only three of the master storytellers in Angels and Outcasts. This remarkable collection of 14 short stories offers insights into what it means to be deaf in a hearing world. The book is divided into three parts: the first section explores works by nineteenth-century authors; the second section concentrates on stories by twentieth-century authors; and the final section focuses on stories by authors who are themselves deaf.Each section begins with an introduction by the editors, and each story is preceded by a preface. Angels and Outcasts concludes with an annotated bibliography of other prose works about the deaf experience. In addition to fascinating reading, it provides valuable insights into the world of the deaf.Trent Batson is Director of Academic Technology at Gallaudet University.Eugene Bergman, former Associate professor of English at Gallaudet University, is now retired.
