I read a couple of torey Hayden's books about 8 years ago and they were truly heart warming. The woman is a fantastic teacher and truly inspiring. I have to say though I remember that she was a better teacher than a writer. That was some time ago and I'm sure she has improved so I am definitely keen to read this and will get it next time I'm in town.

I think she might agree with you ellie! I found this quote from her website

“I felt I had found my writing voice with MURPHY’S BOY, “ she says. “My youth showed a little too much for comfort in ONE CHILD and I would completely re-write SOMEBODY ELSE’S KIDS, if I had my choice.”
