I love all her books, but I think I like this one the best because of the mother of one of the children. While her girl needs help, the mother is one big mess as well, and through working with Torey as a teacher's aide and and a long painfull process to become friends she gets much of the help she has needed for so long. I ended up caught up in her problems more than the children, but the whole story was great and I love all the help she brings to these children than no one else seems to be able to help.

Another touching and heart warming book by Torey Hayden. This time, she finds that the mother of one of her students needs help as much as the woman's daughter. Torey always brings her students to life for the readers, allowing you to see that disabled and severely emotionally disturbed students are very special beyond the confines of their sometimes outrageous behavoirs.

This one was a hard one to read but well worth the tears. Stories are very sad and it took a lot out of me. Made myself read only a little a day. Took five seven days to read. Torey Hayden is truly a gift and is not affaid to step out of the box. Do wish I had someone like her when I was in school. My gift came to me in the form of a boyfriend(now husband), he pulled me out and aloud me to live.

Another excellent book from special-ed teacher Torey Hayden. I literally could not put this book down until I finished it.

All of Torey Hayden books are worth the read. This woman is a miracle worker.Here she tells of another story with troubled children and how, with little to no help, she manages to make a class room for these very troubled children that most teachers would not have a clue how to get thru to. She never gives up. Each child is a blessing and even though difficult, you will love them all at the end of the book.

I have read so many of Torey Hayden's books and this is another of hers that is great. She tells a wonderful story and her writing style is superb. May I recommend another of her books that is so good. "One Child". If you are into true stories may I recommend any of her books. Happy Reading.
Another touching story by Torey Hayden! About a class of special children and this time a special helper as well, and how differences were made for each of them.
Remarkable story
Interesting first person account of working with difficult children.
Great book about children with special needs told from the perspective of their special education teacher
How could I have missed this author! I was very impressed with Torey Hayden and her inventive and loving teaching methods. In this true story she paints a beautiful picture of what these kids' emotional problems are as well as what they physically look like. I could truly see them. What a blessing this teacher was to the children as well as their parents!
this book is a good one .
This was another interesting glimpse into one school year with Hayden's classroom. What makes this story unique is how much Hayden helps out the mother of one of her students. The transformation that occurs during the year is nothing short of remarkable. Very inspirational read.
This was another fantastic book by Torey Hayden. It was almost impossible for me to put down until I was finished reading it. It is so amazing what she can do to turn these kids' lives around....and then to be able to put down the story of the process in such an interesting and informative way is even more amazing.
She is a truly gifted person.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves children, but it will make you cry at times.
