The first new book from beloved therapist and writer Torey Hayden in almost fifteen yearsâan inspiring, uplifting tale of a troubled child and the remarkable woman who made a difference.
In a forgotten corner of Wales, a young girl languishes in a home for troubled children. Abandoned by her parents because of her violent streak, Jessieâat the age of tenâis at risk of becoming just another lost soul in the foster system.
Precocious and bold, Jessie is convinced she is possessed by the devil and utterly unprepared for the arrival of therapist Torey Hayden. Armed with patience, compassion, and unconditional love, Hayden begins working with Jessie once a week. But when Jessie makes a stunning accusation against one of Haydenâs colleagues â a man Hayden implicitly trusts â Haydenâs work doubles: now she must not only get to the root of Jessieâs troubles, but also find out if what the girl alleges is true.
A moving, compelling, and inspiring account, Lost Child is a powerful testament once again of Torey Haydenâs extraordinary ability to reach children who many have given up onâand a reminder of how patience and love can ultimately prevail.

Jag hade velat sÀtta 3,5 stjÀrna pÄ denna boken. Jag skulle inte sÀga att den Àr fantastisk, men vÀldigt bra. Allt av Torey Hayden Àr vÀldigt bra, Àven om denna bok inte Àr en av hennes bÀsta. Dock mycket bÀttre Àn vÀldigt mÄnga andra böcker. Relativt lÀtt engelska.
