From the bestselling author of One Child comes the story of three of
former special education teacher Torey Hayden's most extraordinary
challenges.****
Nine-year-old Cassandra, kidnapped by her father and found starving,
dirty, and picking through garbage cans--is a child prone to long
silences and erratic, violent behavior.
Charming, charismatic four-year-old Drake will speak only in private to
his mother--while his tough, unbending grandfather's demands for an
immediate cure threatens to cause irreparable harm.
And though she had never worked with adults, Hayden agrees to help
fearful and silent eighty-two-year-old massive stroke victim
Gerda--discovering in the process that a treatment's successes could
prove nearly as heartbreaking as its limitations.
