Deaf, Me, My Life: Stories of Strength, Struggles and Survival is a deeply personal memoir by Samantha Smith-Blackmore, a writer and creative artist who grew up navigating two worlds – Deaf and hearing. Born deaf and diagnosed later in life with Borderline Personality Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Samantha spent decades bottling up pain, confusion, and questions she didn’t know how to ask. Her story includes surviving bullying, sexual violence, physical assault and emotional trauma – experiences that shaped her but never defined her. This book is her courageous act of release.
English remains her second language, and being Deaf from birth has heightened her sensory awareness – especially through smell, vibration, and visual details. These gifts shape the way she creates and connects with the world. Through raw, honest storytelling, Samantha shares the moments that broke and shattered her, but she took strength to rise again. Her journey is not about perfection or resolution – it’s about truth.
As a writer and creative artist, she brings a unique lens to communication, identity, and belonging. Her stories reflect the tension, resilience, and beauty of living in both worlds and the power of finally speaking out.

A Community of Soldiers follows individual lives in Lincoln County, South Dakota, from the farm, classroom, and store to the training camps of World War I. From the camps to the ships, both large and small. From the ships to the killing fields of France. And then, from France, home again on over 100 different ships.
Primarily within a year’s time—1918—750 soldiers and thousands of civilians from Lincoln County participated in “the war to end all wars.” Knut Hill, one ordinary soldier from a homestead family—and uncle to the author—put on a uniform and within twelve weeks was in France. But his life there was cut short by the horrific and devastating influenza.
He returned home on a funeral ship, which, during several voyages, brought home most of the fatalities from the deadly experience of combat and disease. Through the microcosms of Knut and the Lincoln County community, readers can get a unique and personal view of how World War I and the concurrent influenza pandemic changed individual lives as well as the world.
Extensively researched and meticulously documented, A Community of Soldiers is a good book for both the historian and the general reader.
