I am a big fan of Torey Hayden and have read all of her books but this was the one that simply changed my life! I have always been drawn to disadvantaged children and wanted to help in some small way to make a difference. After reading this heart warming story of how one woman can change a childs view on life, I have now worked in Child Protection and also within a school and am on my way to making a difference, in the same way as Torey did. This is a book that will live with you forever. I cannot put Toreys books down and they will touch your heart so please read this story. You will not regret it. Compelling read and a must for all you sensitive souls out there who have a connection with children! A+++
I love this book. The author really brings you to a deeper level of human compassion. I give this book as gifts to family, friends, and now my kids’ teachers. It’s an extraordinary masterpiece of the overlooked wounded child noticed by such a smart intuitive woman. Always need a few tissues with Torey Hayden. I love her inspirational work and dedication to helping suffering children.

Actually the first Copyright date is 1980 and I first read this as a teenager. I was so touched by the story and by the author, that I soon read every other book that she wrote. This was always my favorite but I would also recommend all her other books highly. Be warned that the abuse described in "One Child" is explicit and not for the faint of heart. Also be prepared to cry lots and get so attatched to these characters you will not want this book to end.
I love this book. I had read it many years ago when I was young and always remembered it. I found it again on E-Bay and hoped it was the same book. After starting it I did not want to put it down. Torey is such a good writer and it touched my heart deeply, While reading I could invision the small girls face and emotions as Torey was describing them. I will keep this book, it is one of those you will want to read again or share with someone else.I am eager to find more she has written. Judy G.
