“A fascinating study of a dedicated psychologist’s determination to save a child obscured by her own behavior.” - BooklistPraise for Just Another Kid: Just Another Kid is not just another book. This remarkable teacher’s memoir reminds us that love takes many forms.” - New York Times“An enchanting, inspiring book…impossible to put down.” - Washington PostPraise for Beautiful Child: “Moving….
