He was considered hopeless‚ incurable‚ but Hayden refused to believe it‚ through she realised it might well take a miracle to break through the walls he had built around himself. With unwavering devotion and gentle‚ patient love‚ she set out to free him − and slowly uncovered a shocking violent history and a terrible secret that an unfeeling bureaucracy had simply filed away and forgotten. But she never gave up on this tragic "lost case." For a trapped and frightened boy desperately needed her help − and she knew in her heart she could not rest easy until she had rescued him from the darkness.
