Opal and the Secret Code
By Janie Lancaster
Join Pa and Opal as they travel across the Oklahoma Prairie, enter an old stone house where they use a secret code — a code that changes a young Deaf girl’s life forever. The Opal story is based on the true story of Opal Fleming and how learning American Sign Language opened a whole new world for her. It shows how her new language helped to bring her out of her dark, lonely world. It is hoped that this work of historical fiction will be cherished by the Deaf community and add to their true-life-history and help to promote compassion and understanding in classrooms. Opal”s resilient spirit enabled her to overcome so much in her lifetime. She became a well-educated, dignified person loved by so many. For 20 years she was a teacher’s aide at the North Carolina School for the Deaf. She died in 2003.
