Description

Jane Jensen has spent years building a successful errand business. To meet her clients' growing demands, Jane needs staff. Applicants prove scarce, and she visits a local high school to hang "Help Wanted" posters and inadvertently steps into a labor crisis. When she is mistaken for a substitute teacher, Jane is too intrigued to object and finds herself standing in front of a class of skeptical teenagers. A deer in the headlights at first, she soon discovers she didn't learn all there was to know as a student and can't wait to start each new day. Jane is surprised to find that teaching Sex Education is not so intimidating with an eccentric octogenarian by her side and that gym class just isn't what it used to be. In a few short days, she finds a new niche for herself, but she's constantly looking over her shoulder, wondering when someone will realize she doesn't belong there. In this clever story, an accidental teacher dips her toes back into high school culture and discovers unexpected possibilities.
