| A picture of the accident flashed across
the screen. It made Tim feel sick. The car was what remained
of a red Porsche ... He felt overwhelmed by guilt.
I wished for this, he thought. I must really hate
that kid and that's not fair. I would never have wished this
on him.
HIGH SCHOOL STORIES deals with
a number of issues that young people face. Situations like
early pregnancy, drug abuse, loss of family, isolation,
identity issues, and lack of self-confidence result in new
understanding and growth that these experiences bring. As a
parent and teacher, the author is concerned about how young
people cope with problems and resolve them, in addition to
how they grow emotionally and intellectually. Their welfare
has always been a priority for her.
Although a
work of fiction, HIGH SCHOOL STORIES concerns issues the
author encountered while teaching teens for twenty-one
years. Her first book, When the Leaves Fall, involves a drug
situation and how a high school junior overcomes his abuse.
In HIGH SCHOOL STORIES, two of these characters
reappear.
"Mary Nyman has produced a collection of
poetic tales that kept me reading late into the night. I
highly recommend her latest work." -Steven Manchester,
author of The Unexpected Storm |
