Children of abandonment

Torey Hayden, the teacher who captivated the world with her qualities as an educator and a human being, returns in this book to work with children suffering from psychological or physical disorders in a specialized education unit. Hayden will be in charge of three candidates, using persuasion and sensitivity to bring them back from the troubled path they have experienced. Cassandra was a nine-year-old child, with a typical fairy-tale character's physiognomy. Introverted and insecure, she wouldn't let people get close to her. Drake, aged four, had delicate features and shoulder-length hair and refused to speak to anyone except his mother. Gerhardine Sharple was eighty-two years old and after a stroke, she had speech problems, falling into a depressive state and self-isolation. These are the cases that the teacher will try to help using her knowledge in the field of psychology. The Abandoned Children is the story of the determination of a woman and three apprentices who faced troubled times and will try to overcome them. Told with compassion, sensitivity, and humor, it is a powerful portrait that reminds us of the inner strength and beauty of the human spirit.
