Tommy Teach Morrison - teacher, raconteur, and alleged devil worshiper - can't stop crying over the loss of Cait, the love of his life - a loss caused by a violent nature that he struggles to understand and control. Can Teach come to grips with his grief over his past deeds - a past that includes more than one horrible secret? He has many people in his life who could help - including several of his students, whose essays have important lessons for Teach, if he will only listen.
Tox County Teach is a novel that tells many stories: the story of how Tommy becomes Teach, a man on a mission and on a quest for redemption - instructor extraordinaire (at least in his own mind) who must become the protector of all the ill-fated youngsters put in his charge; the story of Tommy and his best friend Charles - a story of a horrible misunderstanding and a story that Tommy can never retell; the story of Teach and his father, a crusty, foul-mouthed abuser of everyone around him and proof that nuts don't fall far from the tree.
Tox County Teach is a story about storytelling and the many different ways to tell a story - stories about Teach's students; about superheroes and God; about a young woman who learns how to forgive her father, another young woman who learns how to forgive herself, and another young woman who learns that she doesn't need anyone's forgiveness - stories that shine a light on lives disfigured by violence and loss.
