She is a warm, adventurous child whose love for nature sustains her as she attempts to adjust to another year in school. She has a secret that becomes too difficult to keep. Fourth grade will surprise her in ways she could not imagine. Miss Spencer is a twenty-seven-year-old former Catholic nun who is struggling to adjust to her new life. When her dream of becoming a college professor is dashed, she reluctantly accepts a fourth-grade teaching position in Glendale.

Emma's and Miss Spencer's voices tell a compelling story of courage, endurance, and the power of love. The story is inspired by events that took place in 1972.
