From the cover: "A small seven-year old boy who couldn't speak except to repeat weather forecasts and other people's words...A beautiful little girl of seven who has been brain damaged by terrible parental beatings and was so ashamed because she couldn't learn to read...A violently angry ten-year-old who had seen his stepmother murder his father and had been sent from one foster home to another...A shy twelve-year-old from a Catholic school which put her out when she became pregnant..."
These were the four problem children put in Torey Hayden's class simply because the school didn't know what else to do with them, but they finally began to care for each other. All of Hayden's (true) stories are touching and wonderful, and this is on a par with the best of them.
