I've taught school, worked with special needs kids in a couple group homes, and have mothered seven myself. Torey's ability to find joy and humor in the often nearly hopeless lives of her students really helped me to find perspective as an educator and a parent. Her insistence that the loud, obnoxious, and (seemingly) unloveable are often an inspiration (because there's a little person fighting to be seen behind the attitude) really helped me to view my challenges as a teacher and mother differently. Quiet, compliant children are sometimes just already convinced they don't matter much, and being reminded of that helped me too.There is not necessarily a nice, story book ending to the story of Jadie, a severely traumatized child who was either psychotic or was being ritually abused by members of an occult group. Life is like that; messy, chaotic, dynamic, unpredictable. Also, Torey Hayden was a youngish professional at the time, who was often made to feel inadequate or off base by 'seasoned' professionals who knew better, and who were not open to new ideas about special education. Again, like the rest of real life, hindsight is 20/20, and we all can look back later in life and wish we'd seen more clearly, acted more decisively, or swam more forcefully upstream. Torey's honesty in writing about her own second thoughts made the story more compelling, in my opinion. The lack of a nice tidy ending is frustrating in exactly the way real life is frustrating. So often, we don't get the happy ending payoff we all wish for.However, for those stating that Torey's other books had better endings, I bet to differ. Sheila, the abused and neglected little six year old in "One Child" did great in third grade, then was thrown back into foster care, abused, neglected, and worst of all, was never even told she was gifted, and was never tracked for academics. The system forgot her. Torey found her and reconnected, in "The Tiger's Child", but by then Sheila, a hostile teen in a juvenile detention facility, thought Torey, not her mother, had dumped her on a freeway. Torey's story of reconnecting with her, her horror at discovering that no one in social services had tracked Sheila or advocated for her, and her efforts to put some of the pieces back together for this 'one child' are marinated in the sad twists of real life.In another of Torey's books, "Just Another Kid", Geraldine, a little girl from Belfast, Ireland, is so severely damaged by the violence in the community and in her family that she pretty much ends up institutionalized for life. No happy ending there either.Frustrating when there's not a perfect ending? Yes. But the resilience of every teacher and social worker who slogs away, trying to make a difference one child at a time, in spite of messy lives, disappointing odds, and unpredictable results, is to be celebrated all the more for the guts it takes to stick it out rather than finding a happier fiction book to escape into. Real life is hard work! Torey Hayden and the stories of "her" kids challenge me over and over again to find joy in the journey, and to remember that living with heart is, in the end, better than living perfectly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tory booms *by R***R on March 4, 2025* I am still a paper book reader. But I also love Tory Hayden books she is great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Reading *by K***S on February 11, 2022* This is an amazing teacher! One who doesn’t give up on the troubled student, who makes herself available when that student needs her and was paying attention when that student started giving signals that she needed help. Don’t get me wrong we have amazing teachers out there who are willing to walk on hot coals for their students to get the help they need. Then there are teachers out there who take advantage of their students innocence and cause harm for the rest of their lives. I would definitely recommend this book especially to all new teachers. πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ€“β€οΈπŸ“šβ£οΈβ£οΈ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1422344-ghost-girl-the-true-story-of-a-child-in-peril](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1422344-ghost-girl-the-true-story-of-a-child-in-peril) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
