Throwing Rocks

Lindsey Acton knew she always wanted to be a school teacher, high school English. But she also knew she NEVER wanted to teach at her hometown high school. Still, there she was as a 23-year-old first-year teacher at her old school, and when a student dealing with mental issues started taking things too far, it was a lot for a young teacher to handle. This student put the school on red alert, and his death later that day sent this young teacher into a tailspin that took years to recover from, and years of her own therapy as well. This book deals with teacher trauma, and what we can learn from it to better prepare teachers in dealing with emotional and unstable students. It’s a powerful and emotional tale of a woman’s journey back to reclaiming her life.
