The primary appeal of this work of literary fiction is the character development which readers appreciate, commenting time and again that "the characters are so real they walk off the page." The story is driven by the struggles of protagonist Dr. Hope Fleming, principal of Poore Pond School, as she seeks redemption for past betrayal of her employer-mentor, by excelling in her work and service to others. Readers go with her and son George as they establish a homeless shelter, meeting a colorful array of staff and residents. An inside look at the human dynamic as well as--but more than--the academic one in schools depicts high drama surrounding current issues; such as, families in temporary or serious crisis, bullying, ill or victimized children--including by Internet predators and others. The joys of working with children, the camaraderie and dedication of the entire school family are accurately depicted. The book and its prequel are valuable to student teachers and graduate students earning administrative credentials, as tools for gaining understanding of all aspects of school culture today.
