With remarkable skill, Jim Dietz takes readers on a journey to spend one full day with teacher Michael Norris as he readies and delivers his children to school, struggles through his classes and the pedantic school bureaucracy, and navigates the dangerous waters of modern day children thrust too soon into the world of adults.
Yet always present, always with him in mind and spirit, guiding him through life is Norris’s wife, Elizabeth—and through their relationship, this novel achieves great purpose.
