Tonya is a fourth grader who has the gift of story telling.  Story telling is a way for Tonya to escape the realities of her life.  A life where her mother works long hours and is seldom around, thus leaving her to provide her younger brothers and sister with family support that is otherwise non-existent, and a friend who lives with an abusive father and a mother who lives in fear.  Despite all this, there is one person who believes in Tonya.....her teacher, Miss Cartwright.  She notices Tonya's special ability and encourages her to advance it.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129488687344,"sku":"9781462820023","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462820023_p0.jpg?v=1763678099","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462820023","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
