Author Randolph James Tells a Story Through the Eyes of Five Educators
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) November 19, 2013 -- Author Randolph James gives readers a glimpse into the world of teachers, educators and administrators with his brand-new novel. A must-read for educators and parents alike, “Love in the Classroom” showcases moving stories which are realistic and portrayed in a perceptive way. Readers will be able to know what goes on in the minds of people whose decisions affect children’s lives.
This book is a novel about five New York City educators and their search for meaningful and loving relationships as they struggle with the trials and tribulations that they face while working in the world’s largest school system. The story is about New York, its schools, its students, and the bureaucracy that forces individuals to circumvent policies that they perceive to be detrimental to their aims. It is also a powerful love story, touching on the difficulties of finding lasting love in the city that never sleeps.
James introduces five protagonists. Hugh is a veteran administrator dealing with the complacency of a long marriage. Michael is an Irish-American English teacher trapped in a loveless marriage to a “daddy’s girl”. Marissa, a young Puerto Rican teacher, struggles to find love in the Bronx. Andrew is a high school dean/ basketball coach who has forsaken love for a bevy of partners. There is also Reggie, who stalls his lovely fiancée in order to have that last fling.
“Love in the Classroom” offers a different perspective to educators and parents of school-age children. It would also appeal to anyone involved in a relationship in an urban setting.
