A Teach for America volunteer recounts his own tenuous education as well as his tenure in the rural Mississippi Delta, one of the poorest districts in the country, during which he encountered fierce racial divisions, drug problems, and gang violence.

"This is a deep and profound work, written with simple-eyed clarity, about one man's journey into the heart of the real America, the one we never see, the one we only see from behind the wheel of a tightly locked car. Michael Johnston's class at Greenville High is a place of hope, despair, tragedy, encouragement, and joy. I admire his students and I am a better person having read about them."
