Ben Eglehart is comfortably secure in his life as a teacher at Comenius Alternative High School when he learns that one of his graduates has been murdered. This triggers a chain of events that will lead him to the end of a long, passionate career as a teacher of displaced students. Complicating matters is a half-Apache father in Arizona who looks to be in serious trouble. Ben and his wife Ginny rescue Will Bill from a most tenuous life and bring him back to live Iowa with them and their two children, Tom and Sarah. Wild Bill, who has rarely lived outside his primitive dwellings in the desert climate of southwest Arizona has to learn to adjust to the humidity and snow and other humans. As if matters weren’t confused enough, Ben has to cope with a wife who is undergoing menopause. In fact, the whole family struggles with this dilemma. To top it off, Ben’s son is referred to Comenius from his home high school, Clanton High. That makes it truly difficult for both of them since it means that Tom has been having difficulties at Clanton and that he will be thrust into intimate educational interaction with his father.
