Left with a houseful of lively children, shewas barely able to cope.And worst of all, there was fourteen-year-old Chavi. Surly,defiant and unfriendly, Chavi disliked everyone, and every-one disliked her in return. Even when the girls at Beis LeahSenior School started their Achdus Campaign - a projectto promote friendship and good will throughout the commu-nity - Chavi refused to cooperate. Entrenched behind herself-made wall of hostility, she annoyed and upset everyonearound her.Everyone, that is, except her next-door neighbor and class-mate Shifra Perlstein. Not one to be put off by a difficult job,Shifra was determined to find a way into Chavi’s heart. Shestubbornly continued to blunder, uninvited, into Chavi's pri-vate world. Even though her friends laughed at her, and thereward for her efforts was usually a bristling "Mind your ownbusiness!", she did not give up. Until one day, there was afrightening accident...
