Review: Class Lessons: Stories of Vulnerable Youth

“Class Lessons is just that. Lessons. Interweaving her personal vulnerability with the needs of individuals, Lucy is able to illustrate the “calling” of teaching….and serving. Lucy clearly shares the joy, and the heartache of taking one profession, a calling, and similar to the parable of “sowing seeds” explores with us the triumphs and the tragedies of those who chose to share their soul and their skills in front of a classroom and on bended knee. Each experience that Lucy shares is a lesson. A lesson of a gifted person gifting, of a leader who understands servant leadership and the immense and complex needs of each life that enters a doorway to your classroom and life. The book is not fantasy, it is real life and allows us to see how one life can make a difference and there is so much difference to be made.”
