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.
