Twelve-year-old Irene is an expert at reading between the lines- a survival skill honed by the chaos of a broken home and the endurance of abuse. But when she enters 7B at Ashville Secondary, one of her new teachers, Mr. Thompson is the first to truly make his way into her heart. What begins as managing a class and performing standard duties slowly shifts into an unexpected, profound connection.
As Irene navigates the cynically ironic reality of her new life with a profound philosophical and psychological depth, Mr. Thompson remains her one, and only gentleness in her life. "Loving Mr. Thompson: Learning of Love" is a story of a girl who is learning to accept and hold true kindness and love for the first time in her life, albeit in the most fitting, complicated, and unorthodox ways.
