The Earl of Hampton
()
About this ebook
Based on French folklore, The Earl of Hampton tells the story of a deaf boy found abandoned on the shores of Bridgeport, CT in 1856. Sent to live at an asylum, fate intervenes and the mystery surrounding the boy's true identity leads to the estate of the late Earl of Hampton. The boy's sister questions his identity, leaving him to explore life on his own and discover how capable he truly is.
Linda Balsamo
Linda Balsamo holds an MA and Ph.D. in Human and Organizational Systems as well as an MBA in finance. While conducting research for her doctoral dissertation, she came across a 18th century French folktale of the Count of Solar that this story is loosely based upon. She has managed deaf and hard-of-hearing employees for over thirteen years and is uniquely familiar with deaf culture. Her son is hard-of-hearing, so she has experienced first-hand the educational barriers that exist for the hearing impaired. Ms. Balsamo lives in Chicago with her husband and two children.
