Biografier

When an idealistic activist objects to her siblings’ plan to ship their disabled sister off to a nursing home, she’s forced to choose between family and her sister’s freedom.

A riveting and inspiring true story brought to life by a cast of over a dozen actors, including Jackie Blackmore, Lauren Potter, and Dayleigh Nelson.

TRIGGER WARNING: This story deals with dysfunctional family relationships and ableist attitudes, which some readers may find upsetting.

Franke James is an environmental activist who got into trouble in her own backyard—family trouble. She objected when she heard her siblings’ plan to put their disabled sister, Teresa Heartchild, into a nursing home. Teresa, who has Down syndrome, refused to go. But the other siblings insisted and secretly put Teresa into an institution for end-of-life care.

Teresa was in shock. Franke was horrified and organized a rescue. That’s when all hell broke loose. The two sisters had to stand together—against their siblings, the medical system, and the police—to defend Teresa’s right to be free.

This is a true story about a key civil rights issue for all people with disabilities—the right to decide where you live.

PRAISE for Freeing Teresa

“The result is more than a memoir: it’s a testimony to how ‘tickets to freedom’ are gained through fighting and love.”

D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

“Gut-wrenching and awe-inspiring. This story will break your heart and then fill it up again.”

Catherine McKercher, author of Shut Away

“A gripping story about courage, love, and an unshakeable belief in human potential.”

Marty Seldman, Ph.D. author of Survival of the Savvy
