Some of us are naturally gifted to handle a classroom full of students, each with their own peculiar personality. In fact, what is revealed in the book should remove all doubt that teaching is by any means as easy task. I knew that the story centered around education but of course, teaching is never as simple as writing on a blackboard. However, I was not prepared for the incredible story within by Pat Conroy (1945-2016) that sheds light on the lives of those who have been forgotten even in the most powerful nation on earth. It turns out that I was right in my assessment. But I put that aside and decided that there is no time like the present and it might be a hidden gem. I had added it for a reason yet at the time, I could not recall why. While reviewing my list of books to read, I did a double take as I read the title of this memoir by Pat Conroy.
