In rural Kansas, the chilly wind blows across farms and through the lives of families who raise the cattle and grow the wheat and corn. But it blows particularly cold through the heart of high school teacher Michael Norris, a Social Studies teacher and father who is close to losing his way. For Michael, whose eleven-year-old son is running head-long into puberty and eight-year-old daughter is still blissfully a child, a tremendous hole was ripped open in his life-and his heart-and each day, it threatens to tear apart everything remaining he loves so dearly. When cancer claims the life of the woman he loves, he discovers there are often more victims than just those who are taken from us. When he loses the women he loves more than life itself, he learns those he loved and lost can overpower and consume what he has left. Journey through a full day with teacher Michael Norris as he readies and delivers his children to school, struggles through his classes and the pedantic school bureaucracy, and navigates the dangerous waters of modern-day children thrust too soon into the world of adults. Yet always present, always with him in mind and spirit, guiding him through life is Norris' wife Elizabeth-and through their relationship, this novel achieves great purpose. Through all the pain and hurt, anger and agony, there is the promise of a goodnight smile that will haunt and enthrall.
