Torey Hayden returns with this deeply-moving sequel to her first book One Child (the Sunday Times bestseller). After seven years Torey is reunited with Sheila the disturbed 6-year-old she tried to rescue. Sheila was a deeply disturbed six-year-old when she came into Torey Haydens life -- a story poignantly chronicled One Child. The Tigers Child picks up the story seven years later. Hayden has lost touch with the child she helped to free from a hellish inner prison of rage & silence. But now Sheila is back now a gangly teenager with bright orange hair -- no longer broken & lost but still troubled & searching for answers. This story of dedication & caring that began in childhood moves into a new & extraordinary chapter that tests the strength & heart of both Sheila & her one-time teacher. In The Tigers Child the skilled & loving educator answers the call once again to help a child in need through her difficult yet glorious transition into young womanhood.
