I love Torey Hayden's books. I have read everything she has ever written and am hungry for more. Although the themes of her books are much of a muchness, every one of them comes across as fresh and new. She has a way of drawing you into her stories and making you feel a part of her experiences. As the parent of a special needs child myself (my son has Asperger's Syndrome) I can empathise a lot with what she encounters. I just wish we could have had someone like her in our lives!

I do not agree with the last reviewer's rather harsh comments. Many of Torey Hayden's readers work in similar environments and respect the work she does.
Torey has had great success with all the children she has worked with and is very experienced in her field.
I have read most of the books by Torey Hayden with great interest and respect her choice to bring to the world's attention the suffering of abused children. It may be a disturbing read but no confidences are broken. Maybe it is Torey's individual and brave approach she takes towards the children which ensures her continued success as a therapist and an author.
I recommend this book and previous books by Torey to any reader and promise you once you start reading them you will want to read all her books.
RECOMMENDED
