SYNOPSIS: A Loss for Words is a story about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. 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 each time they stepped out the door they were confronted by a world that didn't understand them and often rejected them. As Lou Ann grew, complicated feelings of guilt and shame, as well as confusion, grew within her. Going east to college, then moving to New York City to become an editor and a writer, she led a secret life, compulsively interpreting and looking for the meaning behind her childhood. Incidents and memories became clearer. There was the picture of her mother as a three-year-old being left at the state deaf school, desperate because she felt her parents, who had no way to communicate with the little girl, were abandoning her. Then the moment Lou Ann stood at her parents' hotel room door on the night they dropped her off at college and suddenly realized they could not hear her knocking. Deafness is a hidden handicap, but the wounds it creates--and the bonds it forges--are profound. This is the story of a young woman coming to terms with herself, learning that people she'd often overlooked turn out to be solid and decent while some members of her extended family could never adjust to the unusual affliction in their midst. Pursuing a career in journalism, Lou Ann used her free time to teach sign language and to interpret for deaf people in New York. But this isn't just a story about deafness. It is a story about every family's coming to terms with itself. Told with humor and compassion, both funny and touching, A Loss for Words takes us into the virtually impenetrable world of deafness, but it also tells us about every family, every parent, every child. Lou Ann Walker studied comparative literature as an undergraduate at Harvard, and also holds a degree from L'Universite de Besancon, in France. She has worked on the staff at New York, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Diversion, and Direct magazines, and she has written articles for The New York Times, Esquire, American Health, and People, as well as many other national publications. A recipient of a Rockefeller Foundation Humanities grant to research the subject of hearing children of deaf parents, she currently lives in New York City and East Hampton, New York.
