This is PART 2 of 3.
You can read Part 2 one week ahead of release of the full-length eBook and paperback.
From the author of international bestsellers A Circle of Children and Lovey comes an inspiring true story of a gifted teacherâs determination to understand the ârottenâ city kid everyone has given up on.
Sitting quiet and withdrawn at a battered school desk, Luke had the looks of a shy angel â and a past that special needs teacher Mary MacCracken could barely believe.
Already Luke had been picked up 24 times by the police. Heâd set over a dozen major fires, and had a staggering record of thefts. No adult could reach him, no teacher could control him, and no policeman could cow him. All this â and Luke was only seven and a half years old.
Trying to help Luke was Mary MacCrackenâs job â and a seemingly impossible challenge. This is the remarkable story of how the impossible came true.
