A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

6 yr old Sheila was abandoned by her mother on a highway when she was 4. A survivor of horrific abuse, she never spoke and never cried. She was placed in a class for severely retarded children after committing an attrocious act of violence against another child. Everyone thought Sheila was beyond salvation, except her teacher, Torey Hayden. With patience, skill and abiding love, she fought long and hard to release a haunted little girl from her secret nightmare, and nuture the spark of genuis she reconized trapped within sheilas silence. This is the remarkable story of their journey together, and odyssey of hope, courage, and inspriring devotion that opened the heart and mind of one lost child to a new world of discovery and joy.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Finally, a beginning . . .

The time had finally come. The time I had been waiting for through all these long months that I knew sooner or later had to occur. Now it was here.

She had surprised me so much by actually crying that for a moment I did nothing but look at her. Then I gathered her into my arms, hugging her tightly. She clutched onto my shirt so that I could feel the dull pain of her fingers digging into my skin. She cried and cried and cried. I held her and rocked the chair back and on its rear legs, feeling my arms and chest get damp from the tears and her hot breath and the smallness of the room.
