Margot and Heather travel to the Missouri School for the Deaf in Fulton, Missouri, to learn about dear poet and journalist Laura Redden Searing, as researched and told by graduates of the MSD. Searing lost her hearing as a child and was educated at the Missouri School for the Deaf before becoming a writer and Civil War correspondent. Publishing under the pen name Howard Glyndon, she reported from Washington, D.C., wrote poetry about the conflict, and built a national reputation as a literary voice during one of the country’s most turbulent periods.
