I have rarely read anything on the subject more powerful or poignant than this extraordinary personal account by Lou Ann Walker.\" - Oliver SacksFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51526224937248,"sku":"NEW0060914254","price":11.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/8199yiY6lzL.jpg?v=1777187870","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-loss-for-words-the-story-of-deafness-in-a-family-0060914254","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
