The listing, One Child by Torey L. Hayden has ended.
This is a well used book The cover is dinged up, a little bent at the corners and the title page has a tear. The inside pages are clear and easy to read. Even though this book is in a bit of a "rough state" it is well worth the reading if you have, work with or are interested in special needs children. This book does contain sensitive material and is not intended for children to read.
About the story: Sheila came into Torey Hayden's class for "special children" at the age of 6 after having tied a 3-year-old child to a tree and critically burned him.
ONE CHILD is Torey Hayden's story of her attempt to tap the unbelievable capacity of this tortured child.
Parts of this book - the savage sexual molestation - will enrage you. Parts of this book - Sheila's quiet description of her anger and fears and doubts - will make you cry. And parts of this book - Sheila's gradual realization of her own potential - may make you cheer.
Whatever your reaction, I think you will agree that it has been a long time since you have read a book with the sheer emotional impact of ONE CHILD.
