What an adventure Imagine being 18 years old, fresh out of a suburban High School and landing in the most remote area of North Dakota for your FIRST job. Follow the joys and trials as Jewel begins her new life realizing her dream to become a "real school teacher." Meet the many colorful characters that made the experience so exciting; friends, mentors and, of course, the students. Witness everyday events turn to drama (try washing your hair in a five gallon paint bucket, over a kerosene stove). Encounter the perilous where everything from wolves and weather conspire to usurp her mission. And enjoy the precious humor of the children for whom every day is worthwhile.
