I have read a few of Torey Hayden's bks. and this is one of my favorites! Ms. Hayden is an extraordinary teacher and human being. The story is centered on a mute student, but also tells the story of the other students as well. Very engrossing and intriguing. Lynn R.

I love this authors work ... this another example of her triumphs and tragedies of working with special needs children. Toreys great insight into the power of love never ceases to amaze me. This story revolves around a girl who lives a tragic life and struggles with overcoming elective mutism. The only complaint I have is that all her books end abruptly as does her work with the children at the end of the school year.
