It kept me awake at night, and still haunts me

This has got to be the most haunting book I've ever read. From the moment I picked it up I could think of nothing but the next few minutes I would have to read more. This book really grounded me. Whenever something gets me down, I think of this book and it reminds me how good things in my life have been. I wish everyone could be so lucky. This is a must read for anyone who has a heart. Torey is a wonderful woman, and Sheila is an amazing girl to have survived the torment she lived through. I read reviews before purchasing this book about those who read the book being inspired to work with children, especially those with special needs, and now that I have read it, I agree. I can think of nothing else that I should do with my life than to be able to help children who have nothing realize that there is such a thing as love, and that they can feel it and that others can and will feel it for them. I really can't say enough about this book. I cried often at Sheila's hardships, but also rejoiced when good things came to her. I just ordered the sequel, and can't wait to find out what has become of this remarkable little girl. There should be more people in the world like Torey.

One Child

There comes a point in a person's life where they will fight for one child. Well that's if you work in any of the professions that deal with children. There is just one child who will grab you like no other, reach in, take your heart, and never give it back. This was Mrs. Hayden's one child. Or so it feels. At you can tell the little girl thought her teacher hung the moon.

To be honest most people wanted the one thing that didn't happen, a fairy tale ending. Of course this is reality not fantasy so I'm glad she wrote the truth. This book really touched me. It touched me so much in fact I spread it around where I worked and watch it worked it's magic on my fellow employees. They really liked it and it's still making it's way around our worrk.

One Child- book review

This is a story about a troubled child named Sheila, who was abandoned on the highway by her mother and is abused by her alcoholic father. Her teacher is Torey Hayden, and she completely changes Sheiela. They become excellent friends and really open up to eachother. Events in the story will make you laugh but also make you cry. I couldn't put this book down, I loved it so much. I wanted to keep on reading to find out what would happen next. If you like the stories about disfunctional families and or people, this is a book for you. You won't be able to put it down.

I loved the book!

My dad bought this book for me from the flea market. I started reading it right away and it captured me.
This book is a true story about very disturbed and smart 6 year old. Her name's Sheila. Torey Hayden(teacher of emotionally disturbed children) takes Sheila to her class, just for awhile until Sheila gets a place from a mental hospital. Sheila and Torey becomes great friends and their relationship is very unique between a teacher and student. Their ways gets seperated but eventually they meet again. I read both books One Child and Tiger's Child, since I have the copy with both books inside one covers. It's in Finnish, and I would be glad to get a copy of the book in English somewhere! If you get this book in your hands, please read it!
