From Library Journal:

Physically misshapen as the result of a childhood accident, teacher Annabelle Allen knows well the pain of loneliness and exclusion. During her first year of teaching, Annabelle discovers that one of her students, Jewell Cole, is in emotional pain because of an abusive father. When Jewell tries, and fails, to hurt Annabelle with one of his pranks, she patiently reaches out to him with love and forgiveness, and the two develop a special bond that transcends their pain. Wise, a real estate appraiser, tells an engaging and heart-warming tale of friendship that will appeal especially to the fans of T. Davis Bunn. For most libraries.
