Parts of Speech: One Family - three generations of stammerers

From wartime to peacetime, Parts of Speech is a frank memoir telling the story of three generations of stammerers – all from one family. Based primarily around the impact of the author's lifelong stammer on his career and private life, with unsuccessful speech therapy and unexpected attempts at treatment (including hypnosis), it exposes the everyday hurdles and glass ceilings a stammerer faces. It records the challenges his father overcame as a successful professional soldier with a stammer. It ends positively with the author’s young grandson who had early, successful therapy for his stammer. Sales of Parts of Speech will benefit the charity Action for Stammering Children.
