Torey Hayden is a teacher of children with severe handicaps mental and physical.This is a sequel to ONE CHILD...Hayden lost touch with the child she help free from a hellsih inner prison of rage and silence.Now 7 yrs later Shelia was back no longer broken and lost but troubled and searching for answers.

This is a great author and I never tire of reading her books.

The sequel to One Child, and followup to what happened to Sheila, one of Torey's classroom kids.

Personally I found the story heartbreaking because even as an teenager Sheila has problems developing close personal relationships, and still shows many of the signs indicating the abuse and abandonment she recieved as a child.

This is the sequel to "One Child" (also in my bookshelf). For everyone who never forgot Sheila, the silent little girl in Torey Hayden's class, this is her update, and how she was as a young adult.

Hayden is a remarkable educator and this book gives a glimpse into the life of one of her students several years after she taught her. Although Hayden is a special educator, anyone who cares about children will be touched by her dedication and commitment to help those whom society may have let down--not just those in the field of special education.
