Miss Spitfire by Sarah Miller, Terry Donnelly
5.0
Lyrical & lovely.
Pretty much everyone knows about Anne Sullivan & Helen at the water pump.
Most even know about how incredibly feral Helen was when Annie arrived.
But even though you'll know the ending to this bio-fic, you'll be enchanted to
discover the young Annie, mostly feral herself as a Boston Irish orphan girl with
her own individual impairments. These flashbacks are seamlessly interwoven with the
story of her arrival to Reconstructionist Alabama and her astonishing initial months
working to civilize & reach 6 year old Helen. Each of them, by turns, scared, lost,
lonely, brave, stubborn and oh so very out-spoken.
