Are You the Hope That Believes in Me?

Book Cover & Preview Text
I've come to an unfamiliar place where I find myself in a room with others. I turn and see the adult that greets me. I think to myself, "How will this year be?" I'm scared. I fear that I may face, someone that doesn't see me, but only sees my face. I keep these thoughts to myself, because I don't know what to say, or if you can even tell. I may be sad, tired, hungry or cold. I may be angry, troubled or both. I've come to you so I could learn, but the fear of my story may interfere. I may be quiet, I may be loud. I may be that child that screams and shouts. I may throw a fit or be out of control, but I do this so that I don't feel alone.
