The Story of Deafness in a Family

From the time she was a toddler in the Midwest, Lou Ann Walker was the ears and voice for her Deaf parents. Their family life was warm and loving, yet outside the home they faced a world that misunderstood and often rejected them. As Lou Ann grew, complicated feelings of guilt, shame and confusion grew as well. Told with humor and compassion, the Walker's story is not just about deafness, but about every family's need to come to terms with its own uniqueness. [Lou Ann Walker; (1987) 208 pages; soft cover]
