I am reviewing a copy of Once There Was a Child through Atmosphere Press and Netgalley:

Darlene always felt like an outsider as a child, and she was drawn to those like her. She learned sign language from her deaf neighbor, Joe, and was the only one in the neighborhood who knew how to communicate with him. Darlene was inspired by Helen Keller's story. As did the movie Teacher Teacher, which tells the story of a teacher with many demons working with a lonely, severely autistic boy. These teachers introduced both of these children to a world they might not have known otherwise. Darlene wanted to make a difference. 

Darlene Kwarta chronicles her journey with neglected children in her first book, ONCE THERE WAS A CHILD.

I give Once There was A Child five out of five stars!

Happiest Reading!
