Hand Foot Hand
1655 W. Cortland Chicago
What is it like to enter a brand-new school in eighth grade when you’re the first blind student they’ve ever enrolled? Imagine attending your first party as a college student, or setting out to look for your first job when most employers blanch at the thought of hiring a blind applicant. Author and performer Deborah Kent takes us on a journey that begins in a small New Jersey town, moves on to a college campus in the turbulent Sixties, explores the streets of New York’s Lower East Side, and carries us to a community of writers in central Mexico. Laced with wry humor, this is a story about searching for footholds in a world that is not always welcoming and discovering handholds in the most unexpected places.
