Description

The listing, Twilight Children by Torey Hayden has ended.

When special education teacher Torey Hayden left the classroom for work in a children’s psychiatric ward, a diverse trio entered her life.

Abused nine-year-old Cassandra lashed out at anyone who tried to get close. At four, Drake refused to speak to anyone but his mother, and after a stroke, elderly Gerda was trapped in crippling depression and self-imposed silence.

From interfering family members and caregivers to the challenge of building trust, Hayden recounts her experiences and the small, startling breakthroughs that offered hope.

Twilight Children is the story of one determined woman and three individuals battling overwhelming odds.

Told with compassion, sensitivity and humour, it is a powerful, unforgettable books that reminds us of the strength and beauty of the human spirit.

This book is amazing !

I will use media mail for this auction.

Fanned and bid- I love all her books and having raised to successful adulthood a son with early childhood mental illness her books have a special place in my heart. I've read most of them except this one...

Fanned you! Is she the author of CHILD WITH EMERALD EYES? IT is a similar book...wonderful! Important that each person knows what is going on to some children minds..we need to show them love and compassion, not pity. We need to upbuild them with our example and constant reinforcement of POSITIVE things.

It was a very good book and she doesn't write so technical that you're lost in the jargon. It's very easy to understand and even relate too, if you've ever been around a difficult child.

Someone else wrote Children with Emerald Eyes, but I have read that one too and it's excellent as well!
