Book Synopsis
The Dark Side of Education Exposed... For many of us, the vocation of a teacher carries with it a kind of mythos-the teacher is an authority figure, a keeper of knowledge, a sage, and in some cases even a saint. At least, that's how we see it in an ideal world. The real world has a different story to tell. The Long Road Back introduces the reader to Author Whiteknight, a secondary teacher/coach at Politico High School. All he wants to do is embody the highest ethics of his calling, but life has something different in mind for him. Whiteknight is plunged into the bitter realities of hypocrisy, nepotism, politics, and unbridled decadence festering just under the seemingly calm surface of a public high school. As Whiteknight is drawn inexorably into a whirlpool of treachery, deceit, and character assassination, he tries to untangle himself from the black conspiracy that threatens to destroy his ideals. Has all hope ceased for him, or has a catharsis unlocked a different set of possibilities? Engage in this compelling exposé and pass your own judgment on the fate of Author Whiteknight...things are seldom what they seem. As Don Quixote said to Sancho Panza: "Many men look upon this world as an existence filled with madness and harsh realities, but the greatest insanity of all, is to view the world as it is and not as it could be...."Dimensions (Overall): 8.5 Inches (H) x 5.5 Inches (W) x .34 Inches (D)
