A Thousand Voices

A Thousand Voices is a memoir of the remarkable relationship between a young, single woman and the wild, beautiful deaf boy who, for a time, took the place of the son she'd lost. She stands by him through the travails of his adolescence, his search for his place in the world, and his final fight for his life. Her book is a song of love and grief and a profound meditation on the limits--and limitlessness--of human language.
