25 in Mississippi by William M. Priestley
This book was written and published (through Lulu.com) by a friend of mine that managed to survive his two years of being transplanted from Dublin (in the palest of the pale) Ireland to Pascagoula, Mississippi. And in spite of conspiring fates, hurricane Katrina, American women, broken down cars, broken collarbones, and the on-going challenge of a constantly changing classroom, he somehow emerged the other side with words of wisdom.
It's a great read for a teacher. It's a great read for anyone who's giving up a bit of their life for service (ala ACE, PLACE, PACE, JVC, TFA, Americorps, Peace Corps). It's adventure, romance, drama, and comedy written tongue in cheek with (what I can only assume is) a well restrained wit.
Will - Kudos!
Everyone else - Have a read!
