Description
Stage 4 cancer for her and a debilitating disease for her husband: life crashed down in an instant. Maureen Kenner found resilience, however, in the lessons she learned from her Special Ed students in Providence, RI. Her students lived with their hearts opened despite struggles of the highest magnitude. Through these students, Maureen gains courage, humor, and the strength of spirit to face her devastating realities, head on. Maureen’s oral history was captured by her son Daniel who tenderly wrought this book out of their recorded conversations. Through anecdotes and hard-earned lessons, Maureen tackles challenge after challenge and reframes daily struggles with a positive outlook allowing her to transcend and conquer mortal fears with dignity and room for grace.

Katherine A, Reviewer
This was no what I thought it was going to be—a tearjerker, end of wonderful life story of a great teacher. Instead it is a blueprint about life! Living to a high standard in your personal and professional life. A blueprint for how to met the end with grace and humility. Yes, it is sad but also uplifting and well told. Read this and introduce yourself to Maureen and her family (wish that she had been your teacher in grade school) and think about a teacher that believed in you through thick and thin. Then contact them and thank them! Thank you #netgalley for the chance to read an ARC of #roomforgrace
