The true story of a young teacher's daily life and work in the Kelly School, a part of the Holyoke, Massachusetts school system, teaching inner-city children, many from impoverished and broken homes. Her pupils are often ill-fed, victims of severe neglect, or worse. She agonizes over her pupils, one Clarence in particular. Kidder allows the reader to savor the small daily victories and taste the angst of failure. A warm, honest, refreshingly positive look inside a classroom; 8vo; FSA.
