Ms Holmes Pretends

Ms Holmes, a teacher in the small town of Fishinghawk, Oklahoma, is on the brink of . . . something. Retirement? Career change? A new life and love? Rediscovery of her own initial love of teaching? With her husband gone now for three years and her troubled grand-niece coming to live with her, Ms Holmes finds her organized world falling apart. The direction the administration and the state education department is taking threatens to dismantle everything Ms Holmes loves and finds of value in the teaching of young minds. When she uncovers the secret life she had kept hidden from everyone, she truly takes on the task of her life.
