520 "A fresh, engaging account of a young woman's journey,
first to find a cure for a lifelong struggle with
stuttering, and ultimately to embrace the voice that has
defined her character. Imagine this: you're a beautiful,
blonde, stylish, highly intelligent, gregarious young
woman curious about the world with a lot to say about it.
But every time you open your mouth, a stutter comes out.
In order to do something as simple as say your name, you
must physically force the word. Which doesn't always look
so pretty. At the age of seven, Katherine Preston learned
that she was a stutterer. From that point on she battled
the fear of communicating with the world by denying that
her speech was an issue. Finally, a humiliating experience
inspired her to take an unusual action. In Out With It she
tells the hilariously heartbreaking yet ultimately
uplifting story of her year spent traveling around the
United States to interview more than 100 stutterers,
speech therapists, and researchers. What begins as a
search for a cure becomes a journey that debunks the
misconceptions that shroud the condition and a love story
that changes her perspective on normality. Out With It
offers a fresh perspective on our obsession with physical
perfection and an exploration of what our voice, and our
vulnerabilities, means to each of us. It sheds light on an
ancient condition that afflicts approximately 4 million in
the U.S. and 60 million people worldwide. In addition to
experts, Katherine interviewed writers, actresses,
musicians, social workers, psychologists, farmers, and
financiers men and women of all walks of life who were
working to overcome their speech problems. Combining
memoir and investigative journalism, Out With It is an
incredibly compelling, informative and heartwarming memoir
about understanding and embracing one's self and the voice
within"--Provided by publisher.
