In this powerful memoir, Lee-Ann Meredith describes how, after her husband’s death, she gained strength from an unlikely source: her second grade students. This humorous account offers a glimpse into the human component of teaching from the point of view of a passionate educator who succeeded despite the challenges of one of
the largest and most problematic school systems in the United States. Lee-Ann Meredith is a retired Chicago Public School teacher who still lives in Chicago where she writes about education. She is also a credentialed practitioner of alternative health therapies and dances every opportunity she gets. Refreshments will be served.
