product description
Special-education teacher Torey Hayden's first book, One Child, was an international best-seller, thrilling readers on every continent. Their hearts were captured by Sheila, a silent, troubled girl who has been abandoned on a highway by her mother and abused by her alcoholic father, and who refused to speak. As Hayden writes in the prologue to this book, "This little girl had a profound effect on me. Her courage, her resilience, and her inadvertent ability to express that great, gaping need to be loved that we all feel--in short, her humanness-- brought me into contact with my own." "What happened to Sheila?" The Tiger's Child is Hayden responses. Here Hayden tells how Sheila, now a young woman, finally came to terms with her nightmare childhood.
