Long description
Sheila was a deeply disturbed six year-old when she came into Torey Hayden's life - a story poignantly chronicled in the author's ONE CHILD. Over the course of five remarkable months, the dedicated special-education teacher profoundly touched the life of this abandoned, abused little girl. Then Hayden lost touch with the child she had helped to free from a hellish inner prison of rage and silence. But seven years later, Sheila was back, now a gangly teenager with bright orange hair - no longer broken and lost, but still troubled and searching for answers. A story of dedication and caring begun in childhood was moving into a new and extraordinary chapter that would test the strength and heart of both Sheila and her one-time teacher - as the skilled and loving educator answered the call once again to help a child in need through her difficult yet glorious transition into young womanhood.
