"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.

The audio edition includes an exclusive interview with the author.

it was a good book but can tell it's dated but the ideas,oralism, and autism. it seems like her ideas changed over time though. and it is often a very sweet story. I found myself smiling many times of the cute stores she tells.

good but dated
