Jessie faces many adversities—poverty and being tossed here and there, unmercifully abused by seemingly everyone. Soon Jessie is afraid to speak or tell anyone about the abuse, for fear it will only bring more abuse. This frail little girl soon begins silently screaming for help. Will anyone hear her screams, or will it be too late? To protect the rights of some, all of the characters in this book are fictional, except for little Jessie.
