More Than a Bad Teacher, my third book, will be released on Kindle and in paperback on February 29, 2020! It's available for preorder now ()!

More Than a Bad Teacher is the story of a mediocre exurban school district as told by a seventh-grade language arts teacher and her daughter, a high school sophomore. The book imagines what would happen if an ordinary family took their discontent and used it as motivation to make positive changes in their community.

From the back of the book: Andy Garber isn’t satisfied with life. Her husband, Dave, is always working late. Her teenage kids, Ashleigh and Aaron, would rather be anywhere but with her. She teaches seventh grade in a mediocre middle school.

When Dave shows up one day and informs the family he’s accepted a promotion that necessitates a move across the state, Andy is forced to examine the source of her misery. It isn’t until her daughter falls victim to a classmate’s aggression that Andy looks deeper and finds the source of her discontent is more than just her specific circumstances.

More Than a Bad Teacher is the story of an ordinary family in a homogeneous exurban American community breaking free of the assimilationist culture that put armed police in schools, accepts ALICE drills as normal, and insists on graduating ideologically identical white folks generation after generation. It’s a story of hope that even the most complacent among us can make a difference.
