Description
Twilight Children is a heart-wrenching memoir by Torey L. Hayden, author of Sunday Times bestsellers 'One Child' and 'Ghost Girl'. This powerful story follows the author's work with three individuals - two children and an elderly woman - who were victims of abuse and trauma. Torey Hayden's extraordinary courage and compassion are put to the test as she works with Cassandra, a seven-year-old girl who has been kidnapped by her father; Drake, a charismatic four-year-old who refuses to speak; and Gerda, an eighty-two-year-old woman who has suffered a massive stroke. Despite the challenges, Torey's faith in the human spirit is reaffirmed through their remarkable journeys towards recovery. Through her work with these individuals, Hayden sheds light on the devastating effects of abuse and trauma, and the importance of compassion, understanding, and expert care in helping people heal and recover.
