A stunning and poignant account of an extraordinary teachers determination never to abandon a child in need from the internationally bestselling author of One Child and No. 1 bestseller Ghost Girl. Sevenyearold Venus Fox never spoke, never listened, never even acknowledged the presence of another human being in the room with her. Yet an accidental playground bump would release a rage frightening to behold. The school year that followed would prove to be one of the most trying, perplexing, and ultimately rewarding of Toreys career, as she struggled to reach a silent child in obvious pain. It would be a strenuous journey beset by seemingly insurmountable obstacles and darkened by truly terrible revelations. Yet encouraged by sometimes small, sometimes dazzling breakthroughs, as a dedicated teacher, Torey remained committed to helping a hopeless girl, and patiently and lovingly leading her toward the light of a new day.
