Mean little deaf queer : a memoir : with a new afterword / Terry Galloway.

"In a world where disability often comes packaged with pity and queerness with caution, Terry Galloway tossed out both scripts early on. Armed with a sharp tongue and a sharper sense of humor, she takes life head-on, creating her own wonderfully irreverent path. From a childhood rocked by a medical accident to a freewheeling adulthood filled with theater, activism, and a dash of sexual chaos, this whip-smart memoir is as gutsy as it is touching, finding laughter in life's cruelest jokes. Galloway's memoir is a love letter to the beauty of oddities, the grit of survival, and the joy of being exactly who you are-even if that's a half-pint, deaf, queer troublemaker. This edition includes a new epilogue on the "mixed miracle" that's shaped her last fifteen years."--Provided by publisher.
