A Safe Position, Llumina Press, 2007.
The book: "A Safe Position" tells the tale of Shannon O'Grady, a teacher and counselor who struggles in the maze of the public educational system. Parents derive insights from her opinions, and instructors and counselors sympathize with her frustrations. At the same time, she experiences life's other sorrows and joys, with an interesting cast of characters. While this story is meant to initiate dialogue regarding the causes of student failure, it's also meant to entertain. Prepare to learn, shed a few tears and have a couple of laughs.
The author: Kathleen M. Burke taught for several years in the Detroit area before moving to Texas, where she held a counseling position for 22 years. Now retired, she indulges in a variety of hobbies, including golf, music, travel, literature and writing.
