The Missing Heart: Chronicles of an Educator

This is a funny, yet tragic story of the inner workings of a school system with all the sexualities, crime, and politics unfolded through the author's candid account. Overcoming her fears and a heartbreaking childhood, she eventually becomes a teacher and breaks through the barriers of a closed-knit school district to be a skillful high school assistant principal. Students, teachers, and parents were drawn to her compassion. She worked hard on a career that she loved. However, there came a realization that something was essentially wrong with the system-something that would make her take a well-publicized stand against it.
