“Tim Lefens captures the amazing spirit of a group of youth the world thought could not succeed, illuminating, as well, the power art still has in a world where healing is all too often impersonal and reductive. This book is a keeper.” -Lauren Slater, author of Love Works Like This and Prozac Diary
“Brimming with enthusiasm . . . this wonderfully rich portrayal of student artists is a celebration to join.” -Enicia Fisher, Christian Science Monitor
“Art transforms the lives of a group of profoundly disabled individuals. . . . A vivid reminder that one teacher truly can make a difference.” -Kirkus Reviews
“An intensely moving memoir . . . unsparing and inspiring.” -Publishers Weekly
