I know this is breaking Kootchie’s rules, but I am pleasantly surprised to hear that you’re a Torey Hayden fan, bbnt. I would have thought you were more of a Hustler Magazine and Chilton Manual afficianado. I assume then that you’ve read One Child? Hayden’s my favorite SPED author—I’ve read all of her books, some of them 2 or 3 times.
Levonian said:Right—Tiger’s Child is the sequel to One Child. Tiger’s Child picks up a few years after One Child ends, when Hayden is reunited with Sheila at the age of twelve. You might be interested in knowing that Hayden still keeps in touch with Sheila. She’s in her late 30’s now, and is a successful businesswoman (she owns two McDonald’s franchises). Sheila still has psychological scars from her childhood, however.

He suddenly finds himself in the middle of a complex case against one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, looking at the kind of enormous settlement that would totally change his life—that would make him, almost overnight, the legal profession’s newest king of torts...
