Ellie Warden controls the chaos of the Narcissistic Praise-Junkies
at the Shoemaker High School (mis)behavior unit. She uses her
acerbic tongue and her willingness to say and do what it takes to
turn her students into educated, productive citizens-or at least
literate convicts with an understanding of prison economics.
Ellie's profane school persona is unleashed on her private life
when she finds what feels like-but does not look like-actual love.
At thirty-three Ellie can only dimly remember the love her parents
shared. But she vividly recalls the tragic end. As a result, she's
lived her ascetic life with only her adored cat, her television,
and her bitter mother to relieve her lonely nights. A tragedy at
her school brings Ellie closer to a behavior unit alumnus, a man
with Asperger's Syndrome and a deathly fear of cats. An unlikely
romance takes shape between the prickly and remote teacher and the
emotionally disturbed vet.
