In My Brother's Words is the intimate and poignant autobiography of a profoundly disabled woman who struggled to grow up in the 1950s. Because Susan could neither speak nor write, her Irish twin tells her story for her in her voice, every bit as she would have told it herself.

She was gainfully employed for 40 years. And she lived to become a celebrated elder in a multigenerational family who misses her dearly today. Susan's story is also the complicated story of disability in America and the efforts of advocates for the disabled to push back against our inability and sometimes unwillingness as a society to adequately address the needs of its most vulnerable members. That struggle is ongoing.
