Summary

A light in the darkness for severely troubled children, former special education teacher Torey Hayden faced three of her most extraordinary challenges after she left the classroom. Nine-year-old Cassandra, kidnapped by her father and found starving, dirty, and picking through garbage cans - a child prone to long silences and erratic, violent behavior, whose hard-won recollections of the nightmare she endured could not be fully trusted. Charming, charismatic four-year-old Drake, who would speak only in private to his mother - his tough, unbending grandfather's demands for an immediate cure threatened to cause the delightful boy and his family irreparable harm. And though she had never worked with adults, Hayden agreed to help fearful and silent 82-year-old massive stroke victim Gerda - discovering in the process that a treatment's successes could prove nearly as heartbreaking as its limitations.

A great....

story from Torey Hayden the author. I read some of hers when I could see and now I listen to them it's just a pity audible doesn't have all of Torey Hayden books because I would buy them all. The narrator was very good using different voices for the characters.

Important but could have been better

I was probably expecting a more psychological therapeutic discussion of the stories but was left to make my own So often the outer person is not a true representation of the inner and so many cary inner pain I had hoped to learn more to be of help to others
