This lady seems like an angel - By: Beacrm, 30 Aug 2008 
I read this book ages ago but it has haunted me ever since because I cannot bring myself to read the follow-up 'Tiger's Child' even though I want to know more about Sheila's life . Torey Hayden has so much patience & so much love to give. She writes very well but the subject matter left me churned up. I felt enraged & upset while reading this book. However, I couldn't put it down as I needed to believe that Sheila would find contentment & the love she deserved. I don't know how Torey does the work she does, but I'm glad people like her exist so that with their expertise, children who suffer like Sheila can be healed.
Extremely effective in raising the heartbreaking issue of child abuse. - By: Ms. E. Gascoigne, 26 Jul 2008 
Compelling, a true story of a child who is horrifically abused & a teacher who cared enough to help make her life better.
amazing story - By: kat makman, 24 Jul 2008 i first read this book a few months ago & fellin love with it by the last few chapters tears were streeming down my face.
after i had finished reading this i have read all but one of torey hadenys books & they are all uniqulie wonderful but this one is by far the best.
so if you have never read torey haydens books befor i suggest this should be the one you read first
an amazingly lovely book.
WHAT A GREAT READ!!! - By: Ms. S. L. Litherland, 16 Jan 2008 What can i say what a great book. I was first told about this book by a girl at work she said it was great & that i should read it. I was a bit dubious as i have never been one for reading, but i got it & i don't regret it one bit.
Torey Hayden & her pupils are inspiring she writes the bookin a way that grips you & pulls you right into the book.
I have since read 4 other Torey Hayden books & loved them just as much.
Awful - By: Gruffalo's Child, 22 Sep 2007 
This is a truly horrible book. The prose is plodding & the story very predictable. If you have read one "inspirational" novel you have read them all. The best bit were the quotes from "The Little Prince" & even they are ridden to death. If you read because you love the English language give this a miss, the language is extremely repetitive. I would never have read this on my own initiative but my reading group voted for this.
