A beautifully written story of the life of a child through his eyes.  The child is indeed the initial designer who helps create the man.  How the child copes with the dealings of the adults and world  around him can be carried with him long into his adulthood.  The way he views the events in his life and the walls he creates in order to deal with them can be an obstacle in reaching his true self.  Such is the case with Jamie.  HIDDEN CHILD can be read as a stand alone, but I found it to be a necessary tool in understanding Jamie and why he acts and reacts as he does.  Locking things away is not the answer as they have a habit of getting out of the box in one form or another.  Reality is always the victor no matter how hard you try and hide it from yourself.  It is a compelling book and at times I found it difficult to read from an emotional level.  Grab your kleenex and read this well written story of a young man who had much to deal with at a very young age.
