One Child

£1.38

One Love - Torey Hayden receives another child for her already full Crazies class. Children in her class are those which can t be placed elsewhere. Sheila comes from the migrant camp, she d been abandonned by mother by the side of a highway. Torey works hard to reach into the troubled six year old, gain her trust and educate her. A difficult journey for both teacher and child but one that would leave all but the hardest of hearts unmoved.

This lady seems like an angel - I read this book ages ago but it has haunted me ever since because I cannot bring myself to read the follow-up Tiger s Child even though I want to know more about Sheila s life . Torey Hayden has so much patience and so much love to give. She writes very well but the subject matter left me churned up. I felt enraged and upset while reading this book. However, I couldn t put it down as I needed to believe that Sheila would find contentment and the love she deserved. I don t know how Torey does the work she does, but I m glad people like her exist so that with their expertise, children who suffer like Sheila can be healed.

Extremely effective in raising the heartbreaking issue of child abuse. - Compelling, a true story of a child who is horrifically abused and a teacher who cared enough to help make her life better.

amazing story - i first read this book a few months ago and fell in love with it by the last few chapters tears were streeming down my face. after i had finished reading this i have read all but one of torey hadenys books and they are all uniqulie wonderful but this one is by far the best.so if you have never read torey haydens books befor i suggest this should be the one you read first an amazingly lovely book.

WHAT A GREAT READ!!! - What can i say what a great book. I was first told about this book by a girl at work she said it was great and that i should read it. I was a bit dubious as i have never been one for reading, but i got it and i don t regret it one bit.Torey Hayden and her pupils are inspiring she writes the book in a way that grips you and pulls you right into the book.I have since read 4 other Torey Hayden books and loved them just as much.
