About this product
How often does this town welcome new folk? I wondered. I had been told the previous schoolteacher had held her position for thirty-some years... and something in my gut whispered I could be the outsider for the next thirty.

I crossed my arms over my heart. No matter how old I got, it seemed the little, wounded girl inside was only inches under the skin.

If anything could distract me from my own struggles, it would be Jenny Logan.
As a first-year teacher fresh out of college, Miss Anna Beth Atwood is struggling to find her own path both inside and outside the one-room schoolhouse. The trials of the Great Depression, racial segregation, social class division, and domestic violence don't make her job any easier, but the real challenge will be confronting - and overcoming - her traumatic past once and for all.
Heartfelt, emotional, and painfully honest, the story of Teaching Dignity is a shining light in the darkest times. Written by award-winning author of When Dignity Came to Harlan, Anna Beth's journey into adulthood reminds readers of the important adage "To thine own self be true," but more importantly... where could we go but to the Lord?
Walk in Anna Beth's shoes and see firsthand how the rekindling of one woman's faith has the power to not only help her students and community but herself as well.
