This beautiful and deeply moving tale recounts educational psychologist Torey Hayden's battle to unlock the emotions of a troubled and sexually abused child who, with the help of Hayden, was finally able to overcome her dark past and realise her full potential. Six-year-old Sheila was abandoned by her mother on a highway when she was four. A survivor of horrific abuse, she never spoke, never cried, and was placed in a class for severely retarded children after committing an atrocious act of violence against another child. Everyone thought Sheila was beyond salvation -- except her teacher, Torey Hayden. With patience, skill, and abiding love, she fought long and hard to release a haunted little girl from her secret nightmare -- and nurture the spark of genius she recognised trapped within Sheila's silence. This is the remarkable story of their journey together -- an odyssey of hope, courage, and inspiring devotion that opened the heart and mind of one lost child to a new world of discovery and joy.

This was the second Torey Hayden book that i had read and after i read beautiful Child i didnt think that anything i read again would be so heart wrenching and so real, that was until i read One Child it lived up to the expectations of the first book that i had read and more, it had me laughing and crying and not wanting to put it down. Torey Hayden is a fabulous author and 1 of the most gifted teachers that i have ever heard of and long may she keep up her excellent work.

 Something special
