Love and Other Subjects

By Kathleen Shoop

In Love and Other Subjects Carolyn Jenkins strives for two things—to be the greatest teacher ever and to find love. She’s as skilled at both as an infant chowing down with a fork. Carolyn’s middle class upbringing and genuine compassion for people who don’t fit easily into society are no match for weapon-wielding, struggling students, drug-using colleagues, and a wicked principal.

Meanwhile, Carolyn’s budding relationship with a mystery man is thwarted by his eccentric sisters who find her beneath the family’s old-money status. Carolyn’s never felt as though she fit into the world, but with poverty-stricken children at her feet and a wealthy man at her side, she must define who she is and take control of the life she always wanted.
