“TELL ME THE NUMBER BEFORE INFINITY”
The Story of a Girl with a Quirky Mind, an Eccentric Family, and Oh Yes, a Disability
by BECKY TAYLOR & DENA TAYLOR

The is is the only book of its kind, told from two perspectives by a mother and daughter. Becky was one of the first children to be mainstreamed in Santa Cruz County under the 1975 law. Arranged chronologically from birth to age forty: narrated by Becky Taylor herself, who has cerebral palsy, and by her mother, Dena Taylor, who raised her. The Taylors’ pivotal action hugely contributed to California’s historical mainstreaming disabled children into the public schools. The book is “honest, moving, informative, often funny, inspiring. . . and just a plain old good read.” Kathryn Chetkovich, author of Friendly Fire Becky is a Computer Science graduate from the University of California, Santa Cruz. She currently lives in Santa Cruz where she is the vice chair of the Commission on Disabilities and is involved in other civic organizations. Dena, M.S.W., Rutgers University, is the mother of two grown daughters. She lives in California and is retired from careers in social work and education.
