Okay, so this is not a True Crime. Even I need a break sometime. Ha!
This book was a feel good book. I need one of those occasionally.
Pat Conroy tell of his year teaching the children of Yamacraw Island, SC.
All his students are black, and it's hard not to fall in love with each of them, as he tells his story.
This is a down to earth book that tells of the problems of every day life. The problems that these children and their families face. The problems that a dedicated teacher faces in 1969 with the education administration.
I know that there are still many administration problems that plague todays education faculty. Not the same ones, but some just as bad and worse.
Pat Conroy closes his story leaving you feeling like you were there.
Great read.
