Every Secret Thing

by Ann Tatlock
paperback, Carver County, 364 pages

Beth Gunnar returns to her old high school to teach English, but is haunted by something that happened her senior year. All of her old friends seem to have moved on, but she can't let go of what happened to Mr. Dutton. A seemingly rebellious student, Satchel Queen, ends up being one of her best students. Beth develops a maternal concern for Satchel, then re-connects with others from her past in surprising ways.

I liked this one a lot, and cried at the end. Wonderful story! I like how things come full circle at the end.
