Foreword
Beneath the outward serenity of small country towns run the same passions that we find in big cities and sprawling suburbia. Criminal acts are more apparent in the cities, but the same forces which drive urban man to crime are at work in our rural areas. Greed, lust, envy -- these are emotions universal to mankind, and every person has been touched by them to some extent.
This is the story of a family whose members are gradually affected by a passionate nature. As stirring passions sweep through first one person and then another, each member of the family must come to grips with his or her convictions -- their decisions make for a shocking account of what often occurs beneath a mask of normalcy.
DESPERATELY SUCKING TEACHER -- a revealing and shocking story, indeed, but one which may not be as unbelievable as it first appears. A story holding a lesson for a large segment of our society.
