Author: R.K. Smith
In her Adult Education Program, Joan teaches people about enriching their lives, not just ordinary school subjects. However, she herself struggles with loneliness, not being able to forget the past.
But three former students who learned from her have built full, satisfying lives. When a near-tragedy reunites them all, her lessons come full circle.
Whether stumbling on a naked couple using gym mats after school hours, or helping the poor mother of an expectant toddler surmount the commercialism of Christmas, she handles things with humour and compassion. Then she learns about courage and strength from those who have overcome disabilities, abuse, and broken dreams.
