Amazon.com description: Product Description: Life is not fine for Samara Tuttle, but sheâs coping. Her overworked mother is distant and cold, and her motherâs boyfriend, Q, attacks Samara when she tries to clean up after his lazy, Funyun-loving self. Samaraâs a loner. But all of this changes when Mr. Halbrook arrives at school. Samaraâs English teacher takes ill, and in steps Mr. Jerome Halbrook, a suitwearing, blue-eyed African American man who uses Marvellâs âTo His Coy Mistressâ to inspire a spirited discussion about poetry, love, and truth. Soon Samara is borrowing his collections of poetry, and then she canât stop thinking about Mr. Halbrook. Soon Samara is confiding in him about her less-than-fine past, and dreaming of a different future. But when Mr. Halbrook disappearsâand it appears that he may not be all that he seemedâwill she be able to picture a future without him?
