Teach for America

by Rob Ackerman

Hoping to make a difference, a recent college grad goes to a struggling urban school and lands in the crossfire among discouraged students, angry adults and overburdened administrators. Politics, prejudice and sex collide in a story one girl’s good intentions and how they all go wrong. Hilarious and heartbreaking, Teach for America takes us to the front lines of our nation’s battle over education.
