Millie's Honor and Letters to Millie (Two Novels)

Viac o knihe

An English teacher with a desire to make the world a better place arrived in Raleigh during the civil rights era. She didn't just teach English; she taught her students to think. That influenced a future sheriff, a grocer, and journalist who went to Vietnam. Miss Margaret Millicent McKenna was a force. She changed the editorial policy of the Raleigh Journal Messenger, established the Well-Stone Writing Festival, and changed the community for good. No one expected her to fall in love with one of her former students, Raymond Thornton, a tortured Vietnam veteran, but she did. He was a writer, and without her he was nothing.
