Résumé

6 yr old Sheila was abandoned by her mother on a highway when she was 4. A survivor of horrific abuse, she never spoke and never cried. She was placed in a class for severely retarded children after committing an attrocious act of violence against another child. Everyone thought Sheila was beyond salvation, except her teacher, Torey Hayden. With patience, skill and abiding love, she fought long and hard to release a haunted little girl from her secret nightmare, and nuture the spark of genuis she reconized trapped within sheilas silence. This is the remarkable story of their journey together, and odyssey of hope, courage, and inspriring devotion that opened the heart and mind of one lost child to a new world of discovery and joy.
