Editorial Reviews

The book tells the story of a young girl growing up in the 1950s. She is extremely shy, but she eventually learns how to cope and gains some confidence along the way. As her relationship with Jesus grows, her fears disappear.
The strength of this story is in the lesson it teaches children about overcoming weaknesses and finding shelter in Jesus Christ. The author was able to show how Sharon relied on God and not on others to combat her fears and that young children can seek God.
