Just Another Kid: Each Was A Child No One Could Reach! Until One Amazing Teacher Embraced Them All

ISBN: 0007218656
Author: Torey L. Hayden
Description:
A dramatic and remarkable narrative of an extraordinary teacher's determination, from the author of the "Sunday Times" bestsellers "The Tiger's Child" and "One Child". Torey Hayden faced six emotionally troubled kids no other teacher could handle - three recent arrivals from battle-torn Northern Ireland, badly traumatised by the horrors of war; an eleven-year-old boy, who only knew life inside an institution; an excitable girl, aggressive and sexually precocious at the age of eight; and seven-year-old Leslie, perhaps the most hopeless of all, unresponsive and unable to speak. But Torey's most daunting challenge turns out to be Leslie's mother, a stunning young doctor who soon discovers that she needs Torey's love and help just as much as the children. "Just Another Kid" is a beautiful illustration of nurturing concern, not only for a few emotionally disturbed children, but for one woman facing a personal battle.
