Sometimes, life doesn't follow a lesson plan ...
After being attacked by a disgruntled parent in the parking lot of the private San Francisco Bay Area high school where she has taught English for the past twelve years, traumatized Chelsea Garden flees to her hometown of Imperial Flats in the Northern California foothills. When Chelsea meets beleaguered principal of Imperial Flats High School, Nora Delgado, the two realize they might have found each other at an essential crossroads. To complicate matters, her former classmate and messy first love, Evan Dawkins, has also recently joined the faculty at IFHS to teach music. And he wasn't expecting Chelsea to walk back into his life. Other People's Kids follows three educators: one at the beginning of his career, one in the middle of hers, and one on her way out.
A story about teaching, hometowns, and risking change in midlife.
