About the Book
Joe Lehrer is grieving the death of his wife in an automobile accident, and at the same time blaming himself for it. He manages to keep his life together and return to his job as a teacher, but is rocked again by the suspicious death of a student.
With the help of his colleagues and his own dubious faith, Joe puts aside his sorrow and investigates the connections between the two deaths. He finds the truth, but also a secret, a deadly secret leading from suburban Stradford to the Governor’s Mansion. Now he must decide whether compromising his own values by descending to the level of the guilty is worth the pursuit of justice.

Review:
“Personal Pronouns is a fast-paced, exciting read filled with unlikely heroes. Joe Lehrer is reeling with guilt from the car accident that killed his wife. He feels responsible and no matter how his friends try to pull him back into life, he resists. The only thing that brings him a modicum of peace are his students. Joe is a dedicated teacher, the rare breed that both understands his students and enjoys teaching them. He lives in a small town called Stradford, a teeming cauldron of activity. Everywhere important things are happening. The town has exploded with financial prosperity and new businesses. There is an important mayoral election, as well as school board issues interfering with the status quo of existing policies. This is keeping the residents engaged in a number of hotly contested debates.
Even Joe finds himself squaring off and taking sides in school politics. He returns to work, only to be pulled in to an investigation of the suspicious death of a student. He is also torn by his growing attraction to the new Spanish teacher, as they probe into the underbelly of the seemingly perfect town. Together, they discover that all is not what it seems, and a giant web of intrigue has wrapped its tentacles into the lifeblood of the town.
We feel that not only is Joe Lehrer likable, his steadfast honesty and integrity throughout, make him a character that will hopefully be seen again. We recommend this read to anyone wanting a taste of excitement, mystery, love and suspense. This book will give it to you and much more.”
