I\nhave rarely read anything on the subject more powerful or poignant than this\nextraordinary personal account by Lou Ann Walker.\" — Oliver Sacks\n\nFrom the\ntime she was a toddler, Lou Ann Walker acted as the ears and voice for her\nparents, who had lost their hearing at a young age. As soon as she was old\nenough to speak, her childhood ended, and she immediately assumed the\nresponsibility of interpreter—translating doctors’ appointments and managing\nher parents’ business transactions. Their family life was warm and loving,\nbut outside the home, they faced a world that misunderstood and often rejected\nthem.\n\nIn this\ndeeply moving memoir, Walker offers us a glimpse of a different world, bringing\nwith it a broader reflection on how parents grow alongside their children and\nhow children learn to navigate the world through the eyes of their parents.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0060914254\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0060914254.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Walker, Lou Ann\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is a well used but readable copy.
