September’s Books

Heather Ingram was a high school teacher in Canada, unhappy in her relationship with the man she lived with. When one of her seventeen-year old students started flirting with her, she began an affair with him. Most of the book is about how she didn’t know that what she did was criminal, although she also slept with another student. It got a little tiresome listening to her “how could I be a sex offender” mantra. You can skip this book. It’s a self-serving exercise that demonstrates that she didn’t really learn anything from her experience.

Risking it all: my student, my lover, my story by Heather Ingram
Our daily meds: how the pharmaceutical companies transformed themselves into slick marketing machines and hooked the nation on prescription drugs by Melody Petersen
