About this audiobook
A quiet novel of one school year, September to May, in Gainesville, Georgia. Walter Hayes has taught in Room 214 for thirty years, in a classroom whose windows look down to the lake. His students look ordinary. Underneath, many of them are living hard lives — night shifts at the plant, homes with no slack in them, gifts hidden on purpose — and this is the year Walt learns to see them, through a teacher's eyes. There is no villain in the town's sums, and he cannot fix them. He can only look more carefully, and teach. And beyond the window, through every season, the lake holds all of it — and is still.
