| Publisher Description: Imagine waking up to an alarm clock, but it is a soft hum. Imagine walking into a bathroom and not hearing water running. In the dark, you are all alone with no sound. When you talk, everything is muted. When you see people speak, you see lips moving and a low decibel humming sound. A Walk in My Moccasins is a journey about learning, experiencing, making mistakes, and just plain luck. This journey will enlighten you as you experience, literally, "through the ears" of a deaf person. Constantly feeling like he is swimming for the surface, Dr. Peters shares how being deaf transformed his life, and how he survived amid the chaos. Forced into learning in primitive ways, he is tormented by forces he can't control. Mentored by an endearing mother, he learns how to adapt and independently develops his passion for learning. Each social, psychological, and emotional barrier is overcome as Dr. Peters succeeds on his life journey. |
