When special-education teacher Torey Haydenwrote her first book One Child almost twodecades ago, she created an internationalbestseller. Her intensely moving true story ofSheila, a silent, profoundly disturbed littlesix-year-old girl touched millions.

Now, for all those who have never forgotten thisendearing child and her remarkable relationshipwith her teacher, here is the surprising story ofSheila, the young woman.

Iread the book Mid year of 1999 i borrowed from the City Library in Cape Town. I feel inlove with the book from the onset i connected with it from the time i read it i could not put it down i finished it the same day i had borrowed it. Results i ended up writing poem for the first time in my life entitled the "GIFT". I felt for the child in such a way that i connected it with myself growing without a father made life difficult for me because did not think i was good enough i blamed myself that my father left me. i relate with molestation as well. The book helped me to deal with unresolved issues that i had hidden deep within because of pain. i cried a lot but i healed as well. thank you Torey you are an amazing writer.

This book was amazing! I loved the emotion, and the storyline. There is nothing I don't like about this book. Although I have one question. Torey why did you ever leave Sheila? Oh, and why didn't you marry Chad?
Other then that I think your an amazing autor, person and role model.
