Beautiful child - Torey Hayden

Seven-year-old Venus Fox never spoke, never listened, never even acknowledged 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 and remained committed to helping a 'hopeless' girl, and patiently and lovingly leading her towards the light of a new day.
