Gray Area

“The students are going to eat you alive.” 

​

When Rachel Harding, a college senior, experiences a police-involved shooting at the school where she is student teaching, she is thrown into a complex world of politics and self-preservation, all the while trying to complete her internship hours and move onto her next stage of life, wherever that might take her. 

With mounting pressure to speak out about the event to the press and members of the community, Rachel has to decide not only where her own views lie, but how she can deal emotionally with its  effects on her and her young students. Rachel is no stranger to tragedy, yet she is left feeling all alone, left to navigate the severity of the situation, hoping to receive a strong recommendation from her supervisor. 

Complete with romance, complicated relationships, and big decisions about the future beyond college, Gray Area will give you insight into the makings of the modern teacher.
