Summary: A Powerful Yet Bittersweet Story
Comment: Torey Hayden once again has written a powerful, moving story. I read the story this past fall, and even now I still think about the people in the story and wonder where they are now. In this book Torey focuses primarily on her relationship with her teaching assistant, and I would have liked some more detailed information on the actual students. However, Torey still presents a gripping account of her students' struggles as well as her assistant's difficulties. Once again Torey helps bring about miraculous improvements in the lives of both her students and her assistant. However, one child has been so badly traumatized by her life in Northern Ireland that she deteriorates markedly while the other students blossom. Torey tries hard to save this child, but in the end her problems are too complex for a teacher to handle. I still wonder about what happened to this child, and I pray that perhaps someone, somewhere can help her. Torey has once again written a memorable book that will have a lasting impact on the readers.

Summary: This actually gets 3 1/2 stars from me
Comment: I have read Torey's GHOST GIRL, MURPHY'S BOY, ONE CHILD and THE TIGER'S CHILD and found them all to be excellent so I was pretty disappointed with this book. I can't exactly pinpoint why, though.
Maybe it was that it focused on multiple children rather than just one or maybe it was that it was focused so much on Ladbrooke, a mother of one of Torey's students. Yes that was probably the reason. We read more about Ladbrooke than we did about the children and their problems and that was very dull.
Rating: 5
Summary: Torey Hayden's Best Book
Comment: This is Torey's best book. If you are only going to read one of Torey's books this should be the one. All her books are great, but this is book stuck with me the longest. It was a great book.
