Jacket description:
"Sally's hand rested on the clothes rack as she stared into the closet. She wanted to look just right, in chase the girls at Gun Hill should see her riding Whim today. The whole summer rolled out before her--full of adventures, all of them on horseback, all of them with Amy Whitlowe and her friends....
But then the nagging thought came again, draining her energy, darkening her hopes. What would *they* say about her sister? At Gun Hill there was no excuse for imperfection. How then would she, a newcomer, explain this sister of hers--who looked like a grown woman but had the mind of a child? And was the bond of sisterhood enough to compensate for the losses she knew were inevitable?
With brilliance and compassion, Pamela Reynolds has dared to penetrate the wall of silence surrounding the world of the mentally impaired adult. Her book is a tribute to the resiliency of the human spirit." ( )
