About the book

Henrich's 290-page book contains anecdotes from his childhood and teaching career. He wrote about his experiences as a student and teacher in the same classroom in a New Kent school.

He is hoping his book will help teachers, students, and parents.

He concluded:

"Some parents are having a tough time getting a grip on their young person at home, middle school, and high school if they start to drift away. Sometimes physical or emotionally. The teacher can kind of act as a stopgap."
