Maxine Harper's Journey of Hope
Maxine teaches and directs a research center at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). That is not too unusual. The unusual part is that Maxine does it all from a wheelchair, with very limited use of her hands. Also unusual is that she did not even go to a regular school until she was 12 years old. Through her book of memoirs, Maxine Harpers Journey of Hope, you will read her life story. Through her book, you will learn all about her early childhood experiences in a really bad residential facility, her wonderful elementary and high school experiences, her challenging college years, her rewarding time of teaching special education, and her exciting present career. As you read her book, you will meet her very special family and friends. You will meet her Sonny. And youwill find out why she considers herself uniquely blessed.
