Chestnut Lodge: 1948–1951

Joanne Greenberg is the author of 12 novels and 4 collections of short stories. Her novel, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (1963; written under the pseudonym Hannah Green), is a fictionalized account of her treatment as an adolescent at Chestnut Lodge. Her book, In This Sign (1970), about the effect of deafness in a family, was made into an Emmy Award winning television film, and—because of her interest in the deaf—she has helped set up mental health programs for the deaf throughout the country. Mrs. Greenberg lives in Colorado, writes daily, tutors in Latin and Hebrew, and has taught cultural anthropology and fiction writing at the Colorado School of Mines.
