Book Description
This is the story of a teacher who comes to realize that his most liberal and idealistic values about fairness and compassion may often have reprehensible personal motivations; of a young man who discovers that quitting can be more noble than persisting; of a young girl who dreams of equity in a male world; of a faculty wife whose quiet and patient service is rewarded with empowerment.
