About Other People’s Kids:
Sometimes, life doesn’t follow a lesson plan…
After being attacked by a disgruntled parent in the parking lot of the private San Francisco Bay Area high school where she has taught English for the past twelve years, traumatized Chelsea Garden flees to her hometown of Imperial Flats in the Northern California foothills. When Chelsea meets beleaguered principal of Imperial Flats High School, Nora Delgado, the two realize they might have found each other at an essential crossroads. To complicate matters, her former classmate and complicated first love, Evan Dawkins, has also recently joined the faculty at IFHS to teach music. And he wasn’t expecting Chelsea to walk back into his life.
Other People’s Kids follows three educators: one at the beginning of his career, one in the middle of hers, and one on her way out. A story about teaching, hometowns, and risking change in midlife.
About Kim Culbertson:
Kim Culbertson is the award-winning author of five YA novels with Sourcebooks and Scholastic as well as the author of the Heinemann teaching guide 100-Word Stories: A Short Form for Expansive Writing. She lives in Northern California where she has been teaching high school since 1997. Somehow, through it all, she still adores teenagers and feels lucky to work with them but that’s probably because she spends as much time traveling and hiking in Tahoe as possible.
