Dr. Brunswick addresses numerous day-to-day issues of life that American Muslims are faced with. In an effort to educate non-Muslim Americans about the Islamic culture governed by the Quran, (considered to be the Divinely inspired word of Allah), along with the Sunnah (sayings attributed to Muhammad by the Sahabiyeen, companions of the Prophet), Dr. Brunswick offers the reader a ready reference of Islamic jurisprudence, which influences many aspects of the American Muslim's life. Dr. Brunswick confronts the American Muslim with the stark reality that calls for a decision. Can an American Muslim truly be submissive to the dictates of Islam? Or does the American Muslim stand at "a cultural crossroads"? This is a book for our times. A no-holds-barred examination of an ancient religion's ability to function in a modern, free society.
Elometer returns from the hospital only to discover that she can no longer hear the voices of her friends and family. In fact, she can't hear anything at all. It's hard enough for a young girl to deal with such a loss, but things get even worse when her stern family takes her out of school and hides her from the outside world. The playmates she manages to keep wildly gesture and even throw things to get her attention, alienating her even further. Eventually, Elometer stops fantasizing about one day having her hearing return, and she takes steps to thrive in a world that misunderstands her and treats her differently. But her spirit and determination enable her to succeed. Take a peek into a world that millions of deaf and hard-of-hearing people must live in every day and be inspired by a woman who doesn't let anyone or anything hold her back in A Journey Beyond Silence. That a little deaf girl who was kept isolated and hidden for twenty years was able to marry, have children and succeed as a seamstress in New York City is remarkable.
