Description
This 2014 memoir by Mary MacCracken is a powerful story about children who have been emotionally disturbed and locked away from love. When she joined a school for such children as a volunteer, MacCracken was struck by the strong people who taught there, the hard-pressed parents, and the damaged children.
Despite their outward appearance, these children struggled with life every day, lacking human contact and love. However, MacCracken's natural teaching abilities, instincts, observations, and common sense helped her establish a rapport with even the most difficult children. She taught them to eat, drink, decode their mutterings, talk, and read.
Most importantly, MacCracken helped these children take the first steps towards feeling love and trust. This is an inspiring story about human growth and change, highlighting the remarkable capacity of individuals who are often regarded as beyond help.
