All the Torey Hayden books are nonfiction and deal with a loving teacher of children who suffer with emotional problems. Whether their problems stem from medical, mental or family issues. Torey shares her soul with these children and offers her love. I have read and enjoyed just about all of Torey Hayden's books.

Sad Sad sad but well worth the tears. Pulls you into the world of the misunderstood.

Everything by Torey Hayden is good, and this is no exception!

I read this book a long time ago when I worked in special education. Written well, loved it.

Torey Hayden is a great author with stories that really tug your heart. This was a feel good book that I finished in 2 days.

A very well-written memoir.

From the cover: "A small seven-year old boy who couldn't speak except to repeat weather forecasts and other people's words...A beautiful little girl of seven who has been brain damaged by terrible parental beatings and was so ashamed because she couldn't learn to read...A violently angry ten-year-old who had seen his stepmother murder his father and had been sent from one foster home to another...A shy twelve-year-old from a Catholic school which put her out when she became pregnant..."
These were the four problem children put in Torey Hayden's class simply because the school didn't know what else to do with them, but they finally began to care for each other. All of Hayden's (true) stories are touching and wonderful, and this is on a par with the best of them.
