{"product_id":"9781621898948","title":"Shadow Lessons: The Unexpected Journey of an Inner City Art Teacher","description":"Imagine waking up one morning at age fifty. You're a noted, published artist whose work hangs all over the world. Then imagine finding yourself standing in front of thirty-five at-risk African American high school students in an inner-city classroom in one of the most difficult high schools in the country.  It's your job to teach them, and you've never taught a day in your life.  This is the story of an artist who did just that. It is a moving story of a middle-aged white artist who dared to venture into the inner city of Savannah, Georgia, and attempt to teach in one of the first all-black high schools for children of freed slaves in America. Yet Shadow Lessons is not another \"teacher saves the day\" book. It is a story of beauty and ugliness, life and death, joy and sorrow, laughter and despair.  Shadow Lessons takes us beyond the classroom on a compelling journey of compassion, healing, and transformation.","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47177976021232,"sku":"9781621898948","price":8.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781621898948_p0.jpg?v=1763860844","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781621898948","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
