Summary from book jacket:
Mary MacCracken had reservations about having eight year old Hannah Rosnic in her class of three emotionally disturbed boys. They had made progress under Mary's care, and Hannah, who had a reputation for being withdrawn and possibly retarded, would only be a disruptive influence.
But when Mary first encountered Hannah- wearing a woman's housedress, her red gold hair tangled with chewing gum, alternately screaming and sobbing and acting more like an animal than a little girl, Mary knew that she had to help release Hannah from her prison of fear, loneliness, and rage.
But how to do it? How could Mary help a child who had been shut up in closets, locked out of her home, beaten by both her brother and father? How could she reach Hannah?
