One Child by Torey Hayden
Sheila was six years old when she was brought to Torey Hayden's class for severely retarded children.
She was placed here after committing an atrocious act of violence against another child. Sheila had pulled so far into herself to cope with the horrific abuse that she had received in her young life that she never spoke or cried. One child by Torey Hayden was one of those rare books I just couldn't put down. Many thought that she was unreachable - everyone except Torey. What happens in Torey's class is a long fought battle to bring this young child back to life with hope, courage and inspiring devotion.
