Sinossi
Un bambino di sette anni che non sa parlare se non per ripetere le previsioni del tempo e le parole degli altri, un'incantevole bambina di sette anni che non sa nè leggere nè scrivere a causa di un trauma cranico causatole dal padre, un violento bambino di dieci anni che ha visto la matrigna uccidere suo padre e suo fratello e che passa da una famiglia all'altra, una timidissima dodicenne espulsa dalla scuola perché incinta... Nessuno, se non la maestra dei miracoli, aveva voluto occuparsi di loro. Nessuno aveva cercato di capirli e di aiutarli ad affrontare la vita. Un libro struggente nel quale Torey Hayden intende mettere di fronte all'orrenda realtà dei bambini maltrattati.

After reading ONE CHILD and GHOST GIRL, I went back to the bookstore to pick up all the rest of Torey L. Hayden's books. Her style of writing is so easy and engaging. The characters in her stories are powerful and you are drawn to them all. None of the characters have one side to them, Hayden lets u Leggi tutto
