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.

Smooth Operation
Color: Brushed Aluminum, Style: No Light Kit
This Fan has exceptional airflow and operates smoothly. I use the included remote control. It took a little white to install and it’s fairly heavy, but besides that, it’s great.
