"Many in our country are asking questions regarding education. Every thoughtful and mindful parent, teacher, and school district is trying to find answers to complex questions regarding our children. Caught up in the public school system, Robert is sensitive, artistic, and on the verge of becoming lost in the shuffle. Insightful teachers can make a difference, and the power of a family's love is not to be underestimated, A SONG OF HEALING paints a story of hope, for all of us."
Chris Duschik, Resident Scholar
