Im in my mid-30s, Ive won an Oscar, I have four children. You figure out if my deafness has adversely affected my life.
At the end of the day, it's about the best interests of the children.
I've always wanted to write a book relating my experiences growing up as a deaf child in Chicago. Contrary to what people might think, it wasn't all about hearing aids and speech classes or frustrations.
Living modestly in a suburban neighborhood while trying to support four children through private school is not extravagant or living large.
There is nothing better than being a parent. It is the most challenging job one could ever ask for. I love being a mom and I love being a friend to my children as well.
I am writing my second novel for children for Simon and Schuster.
The best feeling in the world is when your child comes up to you and lays their head in your lap, for no other reason but just because. I can't wait to have more.
