One Child Large Print

By Torey Hayden

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.
