Sheila: Luka Hati Seorang Gadis Kecil by Torey Hayden
3.0
There's no doubt about it that Torey Hayden has a special touch when it comes to wounded children. One Child is Hayden's first published book about her work with children, she's gone on to write about several more.
Sheila was a 6 year old girl who landed in Torey's special class after abducting a 3 year old boy and setting him on fire. Hayden never has found out why Sheila did it. One can assume, after reading of Sheila's rough life, that her behavior was a response to her abuse. Through 5 months of work and attention Torey and her teacher assistants are able to help Sheila begin to heal and move forward. It is an incredible testimony to what love, patience, and perseverance can do for a person.
What I've like about Torey's books is that she makes the reader so interested in her kids that you want to know how they are doing now. She provides what info she can on them through her website. Here's the update on Sheila: http://www.torey-hayden.com/one_child.htm
