About One Child
Product Description Finally, a beginning . . . The time had finally come. The time I had been waiting for through all these long months that I knew sooner or later had to occur. Now it was here. She had surprised me so much by actually crying that for a moment I did nothing but look at her. Then I gathered her into my arms, hugging her tightly. She clutched onto my shirt so that I could feel the dull pain of her fingers digging into my skin. She cried and cried and cried. I held her and rocked the chair back and on its rear legs, feeling my arms and chest get damp from the tears and her hot breath and the smallness of the room. Review “Page after page proves again the power of love and the resiliency of life.” (The Los Angeles Times) “It is really, in its essence, about all children everywhere. . .who need the miracle of unconditional love this young teacher was willing and able to give. I wish all teachers and parents. . .would read this book.” (Eda LeShan, author of In Search of Myself and Other Children) “A testament to the powers of caring and commitment.” ( Publishers Weekly) Praise for Torey Hayden: “Torey Hayden deserves the kind of respect I can’t give many people.
