Accidental Lessons is a remarkable memoir by successful Chicago journalist David W. Berner. Berner takes the reader inside his own personal journey; a heart-wrenching and inspirational account of self-discovery.Berner had it all-a very successful career as a broadcast journalist and a wonderful family life. But his career hits a bump and he finds himself out of work. Life then delivers more trouble-his father becomes terminally ill and his marriage falls apart. In the middle of painful personal times, this respected journalist makes a decision that changes his life forever.Berner takes a job in a public school outside Chicago where the students are representations of society's throw-aways. What he learns from them teaches him invaluable lessons about himself, who he is, and why he became a journalist in the first place-to seek out the truth and give voice to those who need their story told.
