Toni

Abused and unwanted by her parents because she was born a daughter rather than a son, twelve-year-old Toni Myers was sent to live with her uncle, Steve. But life with Uncle Steve has been anything but easy with his violent temper and volatile rampages. Following up on a disturbance call one evening, Sergeant Matt McKay arrives at Steve Myers’ house, unaware of the young girl locked in the upstairs closet. When the two finally meet, both lives change forever. He becomes the father and family she’s never had. She becomes the daughter he never expected to love. Will Matt’s love be enough for the events that are about to unfold in their lives? Through the eyes of a young girl, we journey along through the course of four years as she learns about love, trust, forgiveness and how some ties can never be broken.Leung, Helen is the author of 'Toni', published 2006 under ISBN 9781413789904 and ISBN 1413789900.
