Synopsis

Miles Foster is a newly minted teacher who dreams of getting a

teaching job in the highly respected and financially stable Portland,

Oregon school system where everything is available, and where he

and his wife call home. But the only opening for his talents is in a

remote lumber mill town in central Oregon, two hundred miles away.

It is a poor school with forty students, and is controlled by a jealous

superintendent and school board who tolerate no thinking outside the

box and who conspire to destroy his teaching career.

Miles must find a way to educate students who have been passed

along regardless of what they learned, and defeat the damaging

control of the school board and superintendent without losing his

marriage or his job, or both.

From the Back Cover

"After having been a teacher for over 23 years and doing battle for my students who were often lost in an uncaring system, I can identify with Jim Misko's Miles Foster and tell you this is a novel that cries to be read not only for its tension and good writing, but for its theme. A must for those looking for a quality read!"
