Boy. Am I Mad?

by Heather Taylor

Heather was a long time teacher. Not just any old teacher, but a teacher for children with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. Always their champion, she begins her story with the fun and games of her career. She loved her job. She loved the children she taught.Heather had a successful career of thirty one years as a teacher, something she was passionate about improving the lives of children everyday schools couldn't cope with until one day her head called her in to his office and told her that one of the children had made an allegation against her. This was the start of her nightmare which led her eventually after six long months of waiting and growing disbelief to the interview room in the police station, to sessions with a psychiatrist and to thoughts of suicide. Severe depression became a fact of life. This is the agonising account of the ship wreck of one person's life where tenacity and a refusal to give in have led to the writing of this incredible but true story.

Not too bad, it moved along quite nicely, and the ending was good..Doesn't leave you hanging wondering what happened.
