Reggie Bess

"Reggie Bess: The Silent Player" is a story that chronicles the life of a deaf male, told from his mother's perspective of overcoming the odds of what most consider a handicap, into the notable success through personal charm, hard work and relentless ambition. Lavonia Lusier-Bess captures her readers through her pitfalls and her triumphs with a raw emotion that offers our generation a new opportunity to prioritize a more integral position in their child's development with a central understanding that the primary concern should be sensitivity to the needs of the child, more so than the desires of the parents.
