Book Reviews of One Child
Book Review: Makes me ponder retirement
Summary: 5 Stars
I will be retiring from the military in 5 years. I have thought about what I want to do for work when that day comes....as I'll only be 39 and still young. What Torey has envoked in me by her book was that feeling I once had. That I might want to teach. To be that one teacher you always remember.....for me, it was Mr. Mathias in 4th grade at Wishon Elementary in Fresno, CA. This is my first review of a book on Amazon, I was so moved. I only closed the cover 2 minutes ago. I was touched by the human spirit, and the power of love. How Shelia broke free from her shell, she was "tamed", to put it in her own words. I looked at the date the book was originally written....1980. Shelia would now be about 30. I wonder where she is, how she's doing? I was so moved that I know I will be thinking about her in the next few weeks. I love the part about the mysterious colored "candies" her classmate vomited up at home. I won't tell you to outcome so as to not ruin it. I laughed out loud, though, truly. I originally bought this book to sell on Amazon, but I wanted to read it first. Now, I'm keeping it. I'm glad I have another book by Torey as well.
