Description

In Where the Valley Widens, Lindsey Williams explores classroom life and the daunting realities that both students and teachers face in our schools. Young and idealistic, Mrs. Williams begins her journey in a rural elementary school as the newly hired band director. While navigating everyday obstacles, she witnesses the devastation to a community's heart and home when a catastrophic flood destroys her school's interconnected ecosystem -- along with nearly all of her progress with the fledgling music program.
In her efforts to restore a sense of normality to her students, she gathers what remains of her band, and in the process, she discovers her own strength through the support and belief of a gifted mentor. With his guidance, she learns to repair broken instruments, programs, and even broken hearts. Lesson by lesson, Williams matures alongside her students on their journey from elementary through high school graduation.
Where the Valley Widens is an inspirational testament to the reality of the classroom and the lessons that affect us for a lifetime. It is the story of a teacher's coming of age in a period of unprecedented change in our education system. Williams pays tribute to the transformative power of music education with touching vision and powerful insight. Timely and poignant, her story reminds us of education's power to connect us despite the boundaries of space, time, and even eternal loss.
It's perfect for book clubs, teacher preparation programs, and new teacher mentorship groups. Discuss one of its forty chapters each week of your school year and reach summer inspired instead of tired. A must-read for every teacher entering the profession, every teacher hoping to stay, and every person who has ever had a teacher who mattered to them.
Ultimately, Where the Valley Widens is a love letter to the teaching profession, the public schools, and the most essential part of our students' experience: having a teacher who believes in them. The realities may be complex, but Williams' gentle touch makes this book one you'll want to read again and again. A feel-good story that reminds us of all that school can be when it provides a space to grow.
