Summary: Very moving account. Excellent sequel to One Child
Review: I read One Child (many times) years ago and have always been troubled by the fact that, while the book ended, the lives did not. Adding the poem Sheila sent
added a touching postscript to the story, but it still left it incomplete. Finally, we learn what became of this engaging, and sometimes infuriating, child. One Child made me want to know what became of the child. The Tiger's Child
makes me want to know Sheila

Summary: Life changing impact for working with traumatized children
Review: I read One Child years ago and have never forgotten it's profound impact on my understanding of traumatized children. Tiger's Child was invaluable in that it allowed Sheila to interpret her earlier behaviors to the readers of One Child. I've been fostering and have adopted several abused children. I think this should be required reading for social work students, foster parents, and adoptive parents of older children. Sheila is a remarkable survivor, the exception, not the rule with these children. One reviewer mentioned that Sheila didn't turn out the way Torey expected. If Sheila was functional at all, she turned out better than most with such histories. A testimony to this child's intelligence and tenacity for life against the ruthless odds of abandonment and rejection.

Summary: Revealing and exciting!
Review: I read the prequel, ONE CHILD, over 20 years ago. I was ecstatic to find out that this sequel existed! Finally, I would find out what happened with six year old Sheila, the young girl that captured the hearts of millions! I certainly cannot say her life took any of the turns I had hoped for, imagined, or expected, but every turn was certainly exciting! I love the way this author is so honest about her own mistakes in life and her ability to work so well with so many special kids inspite of or even because of those mistakes and her willingness to admit them. Her words are so well-chosen and that made this book easy to read and follow, yet the story itself carried my emotions on a roller-coaster ride that was certainly worth the price of the ticket! Just as ONE CHILD left me wanting to know more, years ago, THE TIGER'S CHILD answered many old questions, yet still left me wanting to know more about how Sheila fairs throughout her lifetime! I highly recommend reading this book, either as the sequel to ONE CHILD or even as a stand-alone book!

Summary: An exellent story
Review: I really liked the book The Tiger's Child. I cannot think that there could be a person so patient and caring in the interests of such children as Torey. In her book The Tiger's Child, she shows what happened to Sheila after One Child. When I heard that there was a sequel to One Child I was extatic. My sister even bought the book. Then, just recently, I learned that she had other books too. The next day my mom and I went into town to the library and I took out all the ones that were there. The Sunflower Forest, Just Another Kid, and Somebody Else's Kids. She turly is a magnificent person. I'd like to thank her for writing these because it shows that someone really cares about these kids and that they can be helped. I wish that I could know her.

Summary: Thank God, I now know what happend to sheila!!! :)
Review: I think that this is the best set of books I have ever read . I enjoyed finding out what happend to Sheila in the end. I just cant bleave that there were kids out there like that. I took a class and I was assined to read one book over the quater I started out with my fisrt book, They Caged The Aninmals at Night they went on to read One Child for extra credit, I finished the book on the last day of school. When I went back to tell my teacher how I liked it, I told her that I was kinda mad because I wanted to know what happend to sheila they she lent me The Tigers Child to keep over the summer. I don't know what I would have done if she wouldn't have lent me it. This is one of the best books I have ever read

Summary: Not the best
Review: I've read the last book of Torey Hayden, Tiger's child. Before it, I had read all the books written by her at lease two or three times. She has a wonderful style of writting, describing everything so precisely. I have been a little bit disappointed by what Sheila has become. At the end of One Child, I was expecting a great life for her. If you have liked Tiger's Child or One Child, I advice you to read Just Another Kid, what is a wonderful story about hope, humanity and all what love can do to the children...
