"Nothing could prepare Curby Alexander for the trials and triumph that awaited in his first year as a teacher. Through the pages of Chalk Dust, Alexander begins his career as a young educator in a fourth-grade classroom and stumbles into adulthood in a new city, grappling with feelings of incompetence and vulnerability.
