Description: Sarah, an elementary-school-age survivor of sexual abuse, has come to  
live with her beloved grandmother. The book tells the story of Sarah's  
year of healing, in her own words. The story unfolds as journal  
entries beginning with the start of the school year at a new school,  
as Sarah joins a girl's survivor group led by the school  
psychologist.  Surrounded by Gram's safe and loving presence, Sarah  
can begin to heal and enjoy life again. As the year unfolds, Sarah  
writes poems, develops her first close friendship, gains new skills to  
overcome her past, and at her counselor's encouragement, draws  
beautiful waterfalls as a symbol of her health and wholeness. Through  
her journal, Sarah also describes some of the healing exercises used  
in her survivor's group at school.
