"In language that often reads like poetry, Miller creates a strong portrait of Sullivan’s accomplishments, as well as her character - volatile, ferociously intelligent, and yearning for love and belonging, just like Helen."

- Booklist (Starred Review)

"A richly textured tapestry of storytelling."

- Cooperative Children’s Book Center

“Debut author Miller nails her audience with this fictionalized account of the first few weeks of Helen and Annie's acquaintance”

- Kirkus

"Filled with the tension, animosity, and determination that Annie Sullivan felt upon meeting Helen Keller . . . this excellent novel is compelling reading even for those familiar with the Keller/Sullivan experience. Children encountering them for the first time will feel an overwhelming sense of wonder and delight when Annie helps Helen make a communication breakthrough."

- School Library Journal

"Miller brings history to life."
