The author of "The Miracle Worker" is, I think, William Gibson.  "To Race 
the Wind" was written by Harold Krentz.  Sorry, can't help you with the 
other authors.  Along the same lines as "To Race the Wind" is an older 
book by Riobert Russell called "To Catch an Angel".  Not bad.  There are 
lots of others.  "Deaf Like Me" is supposed to be excellent.  I'd like to 
read that one sometime.  Don't know the author.  There's another one, 
somewhat older I think, called "In This Sign" about a deaf couple.  I 
learned a lot from it.  Two other books I enjoyed were "Karen" and "With 
Love from Karen" both by Marie Killilea, a woman who was instrumental in 
starting United [DCerebral Palsy.  I've read others along those lines but 
the authors and even some of the titles are escaping me at the moment.  
If I think of more, I'll contribute them to the list.  Have you ever read 
the Dale Evans book "Angel Unaware"?  It's twenty or thirty years old but 
it is interesting in that it deals with things from a spiritual 
perspective.
