"A deeply moving, often humorous, and beautiful account
of what it means to be the hearing child of profoundly deaf parents . . . I
have rarely read anything on the subject more powerful or poignant than this
extraordinary personal account by Lou Ann Walker." -- Oliver Sacks
From the
time she was a toddler, Lou Ann Walker acted as the ears and voice for her
parents, who had lost their hearing at a young age. As soon as she was old
enough to speak, her childhood ended, and she immediately assumed the
responsibility of interpreter--translating doctors' appointments and managing
her parents' business transactions. Their family life was warm and loving,
but outside the home, they faced a world that misunderstood and often rejected
them.
In this
deeply moving memoir, Walker offers us a glimpse of a different world, bringing
with it a broader reflection on how parents grow alongside their children and
how children learn to navigate the world through the eyes of their parents.
