title: Just Another Kid
author:  Torey L. Hayden 
description: A dramatic and remarkable narrative of an extraordinary teacher's determination, from the author of the Sunday Times bestsellers 'The Tiger's Child' and 'One Child'. Torey Hayden faced six emotionally troubled kids no other teacher could handle -- three recent arrivals from battle-torn Northern Ireland, badly traumatised by the horrors of war; an eleven-year-old boy, who only knew life inside an institution; an excitable girl, aggressive and sexually precocious at the age of eight; and seven-year-old Leslie, perhaps the most hopeless of all, unresponsive and unable to speak. But Torey's most daunting challenge turns out to be Leslie's mother, a stunning young doctor who soon discovers that she needs Torey's love and help just as much as the children. 'Just Another Kid' is a beautiful illustration of nurturing concern, not only for a few emotionally disturbed children, but for one woman facing a personal battle.

  Hayden Raferty-Lopez is nervous about returning to Window Rock—with so many
  memories wrapped up there. However, she’s excited to start her life with her
  mate in the town she calls home.
  
  
  
  
  
  Nico Lopez knew this day would come. He’s been planning for it since the day
  his little wolf finally accepted his apology and gave him the chance to make
  it up to her. However, something is off about his mate. Everyone around them
  is settling into their new “adult” lives except them.
  
  
  
  
  
  When Kalkin Raferty offers them a job taking down a piece of the Paranormal
  Bounty Hunters, both Hayden and Nico are ready for it. What they’re not
  prepared for are the conditions the orphaned shifter children and teens are
  kept in, nor are they prepared to find a green-eyed cub, who steals their
  heart.
  
  
  
  
  
  Secrets are revealed, and lives will be irrevocably harmed. Those who were
  supposed to be allies will be exposed and the lies they told will shape the
  Raferty pack for years to come.
