Life changing impact for working with traumatized children

I read One Child years ago and have never forgotten it's profound impact on my understanding of traumatized children. Tiger's Child was invaluable in that it allowed Sheila to interpret her earlier behaviors to the readers of One Child. I've been fostering and have adopted several abused children. I think this should be required reading for social work students, foster parents, and adoptive parents of older children. Sheila is a remarkable survivor, the exception, not the rule with these children. One reviewer mentioned that Sheila didn't turn out the way Torey expected. If Sheila was functional at all, she turned out better than most with such histories. A testimony to this child's intelligence and tenacity for life against the ruthless odds of abandonment and rejection.

Not the best

I've read the last book of Torey Hayden, Tiger's child. Before it, I had read all the books written by her at lease two or three times. She has a wonderful style of writting, describing everything so precisely. I have been a little bit disappointed by what Sheila has become. At the end of One Child, I was expecting a great life for her. If you have liked Tiger's Child or One Child, I advice you to read Just Another Kid, what is a wonderful story about hope, humanity and all what love can do to the children...

Insightful and realistic, Hayden does it again!

Torey Hayden's sequal is incredibly realistic and insightful. A talented writer, Hayden boldly portrays the harsh realities of what happens to so many of our children, abused at an early age. Sheila didn't turn out the way Torey wanted, but she found herself and found a little peace along the way. Most of the children in Hayden's stories are young. This was an awesome portrayal of adolescence mixed with the results of early childhood abuse. Inspiring, I highly recommend it to all interested in children.

Not as Good as One Child

I found this book not as engaging as "One Child" because it didn't have as much of the raw emotion in the earlier book. I found I couldn't feel as much empathy for sheila as compared to the other book. But it was great to find out what happens to Sheila, and on it's own it's still a good piece of work.
