This is the sequel to "One Child" (also in my bookshelf). For everyone who never forgot Sheila, the silent little girl in Torey Hayden's class, this is her update, and how she was as a young adult.

The sequel to One Child, and followup to what happened to Sheila, one of Torey's classroom kids.
Personally I found the story heartbreaking because even as an teenager Sheila has problems developing close personal relationships, and still shows many of the signs indicating the abuse and abandonment she recieved as a child.

This is the sequel to One Child, telling how Torey met Sheila again in her teen years and the path in life that she eventually chose.

This is the follow up book to One Child. The story of Sheila, who was one of Torey Haydens earlier children she taught. I too had wondered what became of Sheila after i read the first book. I loved that there is a follow up. If you can, read One Child first, but if you can't the beginning will give you a short brief on Torey and Sheila's time together. Wonderful true read.
