This story unfolds in Appalachia, a small coal mining town in the southwest corner of Virginia. After graduate school and a year of post-graduate studies in secondary education, I accept the first teaching contract offered to me, an eighth grade science position at Powell Valley High School, a comprehensive school integrating grades seven through twelve located a few miles west in the town of Big Stone Gap. A new teacher in a new town, I strive to make science relevant to the adolescents who will soon work and pay taxes in these southern mountain villages. Life makes us all travelers, presented with unforeseen characters and challenges along the way regardless of the paths we choose. Enjoy a novel of personal triumphs and ghastly missteps, of bizarre and beautiful friends, both human and non-human, that journey these pages with me.
