    Summary

    Mary needs to start fresh. A new life with a new job at a new school, teaching her favourite subject: history.

    Her own history has a funny way of coming back to bite her, as it happens, but maybe a new English-teaching acquaintance who won’t stop being kind to her will help with that.
