Description
Delrita likes being invisible. If no one notices her, then no one willnotice her uncle Punky either. Punky is a grown man with a child’s mind. Delrita loves him dearly and can’t stand people making fun of his Down’s syndrome. But when tragedy strikes, Delrita’s quiet life—and Punky’s—are disrupted forever. Can she finally learn to trust others, for her own sake and Punky’s? This story captures the joy and sorrow that come when we open our hearts to love.June Rae Wood is a bestselling author of books for young readers.
