More DescriptionA memoir of a high school teacher during the 1960s in the San Francisco Bay Area. The author's family and the United States were in the midst of upheaval. The author with her two children left Wisconsin and her work as a public relations writer and settled in Berkeley. Within a year, she was a teacher in a Bay Area suburb. Her students taught her lessons while she taught them English and Humanities. The lessons are sometimes poignant, sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, sometimes disappointing, but always interesting and memorable. The author carefully chose the characters in this book. Although their stories are firmly planted in the 1960s, they are timeless and memorable.
