    I couldn't put this down. Knowing this was a true story was fascinating to me. Jadie's parents seemed off but no-one could ever even begin to imagine how off they where. Actually, Torey never indicated whether or not it was the parents who actually did these horrendous things to their children or if it was a community of underground satin worshipers. Crazy stuff goes on in this world that you could never even imagine could be true.

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 Hayden responded in the only way she knew how--with courage, compassion, and dedication--demonstrating once again the tremendous power of love and the relilience of the human spirit.
