Very funny, witty and also very candid. It's a 1st year teachers diary. She teaches in a inncer city school of Chicago. It's not for "born-again idealists." She's blunt and at times down right crude in her approach to reaching those students that most need her. She loves her students and fights every day for them to understand her love for them and her
desire for them to break the pattern that has been set before them.
