"This book is about a young girl, abused in so many ways, and thanks to a wonderful teacher (one who actually cares about the children she works with, versus those who are there for whatever reason). This child overcomes more in her early years of life than what most people do in a life time. My hats off to Torey Hayden; for the love, strength, and hope that she has given to this child..... and to "Sheila" for gaining the trust in someone to show her that people do care and that there are actually good loving people in the world. An awesome story of love, strength, and over coming. I would recommend this book to all."
"Sheila was caught trying to burn a little 3 year old to death. She was only 6. Sheila is very smart she has a very high IQ. Sheila was abandoned by her 14 year old mother, on the highway. Her abusive father now takes care of her. Sheila is placed in a school for kids who have are issued. Sheila learns to love and be herself, all thanks to her amazing teacher, Torey Hayden. I can make a text to world connection, Many kids have abusive parents all around the world. Sheila wears the same clothes everyday, reeks of urine, and had no emotions. Sheila had the worst uncle, he put a knife into her. Like Really INSIDE of her. But There are really good teachers, who help those children. I gave this book 5 stars. Torey Hayden is an amazing writer and it is really amazing how she remembered all this. Keep writing Torey!"
"I read this book in one afternoon, the story was so amazing, the writing was easy to digest, the characters were engaging. It is truly a thing to know that there are brilliant minds that get lost so easily. But sometimes, they are found, and Torey Hayden was lucky enough to happen upon this abused, traumatised child, and give her a choice in life. I lent this book, and the rest that followed, to a young friend, who later went into social work, and said that these books profoundly affected her life. I can say the same for myself."
"Sheila masuk ke kelas Torey Hayden untuk "anak-anak khusus" ketika berusia 6 tahun setelah dia mengikat anak umur 3 tahun di sebatang pohon dan benar-benar membakarnya..
LUKA HATI SEORANG GADIS KECIL adalah cerita Torey Hayden tentang upayanya membangkitkan kemampuan luar biasa anak yang tersiksa ini.
Beberapa bagian buku ini - penganiayaan seksual yang keji - pasti membuat Anda geram. Beberapa bagian buku ini - pemaparan Sheila tanpa suara tentang kegeraman dan ketakutan dan keraguannya - pasti membuat Anda menangis. Dan beberapa bagian buku ini - kesadaran Sheila yang tumbuh sedikit demi sedikit tentang kemampuannya - membuat Anda bersorak gembira.
Apa pun reaksi Anda, saya rasa Anda pasti sependapat bahwa sudah lama sekali Anda tidak pernah membaca lagi buku yang sangat menggugah perasaan seperti yang ditampilkan dalam buku LUKA HATI SEORANG GADIS KECIL ini.
