backcover text:
Six-year-old Sheila never spoke, she never cried, and her eyes were filled with hate. Abandoned on a highway by her mother, abused by her alcoholic father, Sheila was placed in a class for the hopelessly retarded after she committed an atrocious act of violence against another child.
Everyone said Sheila was lost forever - everyone except teacher Torey Hayden.
Torey fought to reach Sheila, to bring the abused shild back from her secret nightmare, because beneath the autistic rage, Torey saw in Sheila the spark of genius. And together they embarked on a wonderous journey - a journey gleaming with a child's joy at discovering a world filled with love and a journey sustained by a young teacher's inspiring bravery and devotion.

The backcover text looked quite interesting and it's still quite hard for me to leave the book on board. But I have two other books of this author at home. If I'll like them, I'll maybe by this book again...
I hope it finds a reader, who will appreciate it. Good voyage dear book.
