Description
Torey Hayden's remarkable story is one of hope and courage in the face of adversity. In "One Child", she recounts her battle to unlock the emotions of a troubled child, Sheila, who had been abandoned by her mother and subjected to horrific abuse. Sheila was placed in a class for severely retarded children after committing an act of violence, and everyone thought she was beyond salvation - except Torey Hayden. With patience, skill, and abiding love, Torey fought long and hard to release Sheila from her secret nightmare and nurture the spark of genius trapped within her silence. This is a powerful and inspiring tale of devotion and the transformative power of human connection.
