What is it like to grow up with tourette's but have no idea you have this disorder or why you are acting the way you are? Would you keep your pops and twitches secret? Learn about a 10 year old girl who first shows signs of this. She only thinks it is because she is sinful or bad and as a result becomes a very lonely person. A powerful story about the disorder of tourette's and how cruel others can be if you are different and unacceptable. Can be a very powerful book to read and discuss. This story takes place in the 1950's, how far has medicine come since then and how far have we come in the acceptance of those who are different from us?
