MORE THAN ONE MILLION COPIES OF TOREY HAYDEN'S BOOKS IN PRINT!
"MOVING...AS LIVELY AND SURPRISING AS THE KIDS IT SO DEFTLY PORTRAYS, BEAUTIFUL CHILD PERSUADES US THAT EVEN THE MOST WITHDRAWN AND TROUBLED CHILD CAN BE REACHED IF SOMEONE TAKES THE TIME, PAYS ATTENTION, AND SINCERELY, DEEPLY CARES."
O magazine
Seven-year-old 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 Torey's 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 remained committed to helping a "hopeless" girl, and patiently and lovingly leading her toward the light of a new day.
