New Releases by Torey Hayden

From Torey Hayden, the number one Sunday Times bestselling author of One Child comes The Invisible Girl, a deeply moving true account of a young teen with a troubling obsession and an extraordinary educational psychologist''s sympathy and determination to help. Eloise is a vibrant and charming young teen with a deeply caring nature, but she also struggles with a worrying delusion. She’s been moved from home to home, and her social workers have difficulty dealing with her habit of running away. After experiencing violence, neglect and sexual abuse from people she should have been able to trust, Eloise has developed complex behavioural needs. She struggles to separate fact from fiction, leading to confusion for the social workers trying to help her. After Torey learns of Eloise''s background she hopes that some gentle care and attention can help Eloise gain some sense of security in her life. Can Torey and the other social workers provide the loving attention that has so far been missing in Eloise''s life, or will she run away from them too?

Jessie a 9 ans et ressemble à la petite fille parfaite, avec ses cheveux roux, ses yeux verts et son sourire charmant. Mais pour obtenir ce qu’elle veut, Jessie est capable de mentir, hurler, crier et faire du mal. Ses parents décident de la placer en foyer. Les assistants sociaux luttent pour parvenir à gérer son comportement et ses changements d’humeur brutaux, et Jessie fait plusieurs passages chaotiques dans des familles d’accueil. C’est alors qu’on appelle la pédopsychologue Torey Hayden pour lui venir en aide. Elle lui diagnostique un trouble de l’attachement. Celui-ci apparaît chez les enfants privés de liens sensibles et constants avec des adultes sécurisants, les empêchant de se développer normalement sur le plan émotionnel. L’attention bienveillante de Torey révèle des vérités surprenantes derrière les mensonges de Jessie. Arrivera-t-elle à se construire ou continuera-t-elle à repousser tous ceux qui veulent l’aider ?

The first new book from beloved therapist and writer Torey Hayden in almost fifteen years—an 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, Jessie—at the age of ten—is 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 Hayden’s colleagues – a man Hayden implicitly trusts – Hayden’s work doubles: now she must not only get to the root of Jessie’s 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 Hayden’s extraordinary ability to reach children who many have given up on—and a reminder of how patience and love can ultimately prevail.

« Je pleure jamais. [...] Si je pleure pas, ils savent pas que j’ai de la peine. Alors ils peuvent pas me faire du mal. Personne peut me faire pleurer non plus. Même mon papa quand il me bat. » À six ans, Sheila a déjà un lourd passé. Abandonnée par sa mère sur une aire d’autoroute, brutalisée par son père, elle ne connaît que la douleur et l’effroi. Le jour où elle bascule à son tour dans la violence en ligotant un camarade à un arbre pour y mettre le feu, elle est arrêtée par la police qui ne peut rien pour elle, pas plus que l’hôpital psychiatrique. C’est cette enfant sauvage, terrifiée et terrifiante, que Torey Hayden va petit à petit apprendre à apprivoiser et à aimer. Car derrière le masque de la peur se cache une petite fille intelligente et pleine de vie qui, en s’autorisant à pleurer, se donnera enfin le droit de rire.

"Conor tenait le chat en peluche étroitement serré contre sa poitrine. Il le souleva lentement pour le presser contre son menton puis il se mit à agiter frénétiquement une main. - Miaou ? murmura-t-il, le visage enfoui dans la fourrure du petit animal." Conor, 9 ans, ne s''exprime que par miaulements. Ses comportements obsessionnels épuisent ses parents, au point qu''ils songent au divorce. Ils confient leur fils, considéré comme autiste, au Dr James Innes. Si peu à peu une relation de confiance s''établit entre lui et l''enfant, le psychiatre s''intéresse aussi à sa mère, Laura, qui lui avoue avoir développé tout un univers pour échapper à son enfance difficile. Qu''implique cette imagination extraordinaire que toute la famille semble partager ? Et surtout, que cherche à exprimer réellement Conor, dont l''esprit se révèle très éveillé ?

Help kids learn to face their fears and self-soothe with this adorable puppy companion. Ziji is a bouncy puppy who lives with the Anderson family: Mom, Dad, Jenny, and Baby Jack. He loves to play and chase balls in the park with Jenny and their friend Nico. Then one day, an angry man shouts at Ziji and scares him so much he never wants to go back to the park again. Can Nico show him how to calm his mind and face his fears? Renowned meditation master Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche shows young children how following our breath can calm us down—and how practicing compassion shows us that even Very Scary Men can be frightened sometimes too. A detailed appendix gives further guidance for parents.

Jadie never spoke. She never laughed, or cried, or uttered any sound. Despite efforts to reach her, Jadie remained locked in her own troubled world . . . until one remarkable teacher persuaded her to break her self-imposed silence. Nothing in all of Torey Hayden’s experience could have prepared her for the shock of what Jadie told her—a story too horrendous for Torey’s professional colleagues to acknowledge. Yet a little girl was living in a nightmare, and Torey responded in the only way she knew how—with courage, compassion, and dedication—demonstrating once again the tremendous power of love and the resilience of the human spirit.

"Just Another Kid is not just another book. This remarkable teacher''s memoir reminds us that love takes many forms." -The New York Times From the bestselling author of One Child comes the true story of six children impossible to reach and the amazing teacher who embraced them all. Torey Hayden faced six emotionally troubled kids no other teacher could handle—three recent arrivals from battle-torn Northern Ireland, badly traumatized by the horrors of war; eleven-year-old Dirkie, who only knew of life inside an institution; excitable Mariana, aggressive and sexually precocious at the age of eight; and seven-year-old Leslie, perhaps the most hopeless of all, unresponsive and unable to speak. With compassion, rare insight, and masterful storytelling, teacher Torey Hayden once again touches our hearts with her account of the miracles that can happen in her class of “special” children.

When Torey Hayden first met fifteen-year-old Kevin, he was barricaded under a table. Desperately afraid of the world around him, he hadn’t spoken a word in eight years. He was considered hopeless, incurable, but Hayden refused to believe it. With unwavering devotion and gentle, patient love, she set out to free him—and slowly uncovered a shocking, violent history and a terrible secret that an unfeeling bureaucracy had simply filed away and forgotten. But she never gave up on this tragic “lost case.” For a trapped and frightened boy desperately needed her help—and she knew in her heart she could not rest easy until she had rescued him from the darkness.

Children will love learning the calming power of meditation alongside Ziji, a playful puppy. Ziji is a noisy, bouncy puppy who lives with the Anderson family: Mom, Dad, Jenny, and Baby Jack. He loves to bark and play and—most of all—chase pigeons in the park. Then one day, Ziji sees a new boy from Jenny''s school, Nico, sitting in the park. What is Nico doing? Why does he look so calm and happy? Ziji can''t wait to find out. This book, written by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, one of the new generation of Tibetan Buddhist masters, will teach your child the basics of meditation in a fun and engaging way. Included after the story is a guide for parents and teachers with more information on what meditation is and how it can be helpful as well as suggestions on how children can continue to practice meditation on their own.

Esta é a história verídica e comovente da relação entre uma professora que ensina crianças com dificuldades mentais e emocionais e a sua aluna, Sheila, de seis anos, abandonada por uma mãe adolescente e que até então apenas conheceu um mundo onde foi severamente maltratada e abusada. Relatada pela própria professora, Torey Haden, é uma história inspiradora, que nos mostra que só uma fé inabalável e um amor sem condições são capazes de chegar ao coração de uma criança aparentemente inacessível. Considerada uma ameaça que nenhum pai nem nenhum professor querem por perto de outras crianças, Sheila dá entrada na sala de Torey, onde ficam as crianças que não se integram noutro lugar.
