"This is a deep and profound work, written with simple-eyed clarity, about one man's journey into the heart of the real America, the one we never see, the one we only see from behind the wheel of a tightly locked car. Michael Johnston's class at Greenville High is a place of hope, despair, tragedy, encouragement, and joy. I admire his students and I am a better person having read about them."
In the Deep Heart's Core is the uplifting story of young Teach for America volunteer who becomes an English teacher in a desperately impoverished African-American high school in the rural Mississippi Delta beset by gang violence, drug abuse, ruptured families and teen pregnancy-but among the sorrow and struggle he finds dignity and hope, and works to bring the nascent intellectual curiosity of his students to full flower.
