Gym Class Klutz (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781518627170)

Carol Lynn Luck (a.k.a. Carol Lach) was the high school English student who hated to write, as she felt she had nothing to say. Her PhD in the sciences taught her to think critically and she published many articles in scientific and educational journals in her 50 years after high school. Upon retiring, she realized the richness and variety of the nine lives she had spent in scientific research, teaching, marketing, technology, parenting, management, entrepreneurship, education and caregiving. Her first novel, "Heroines of the Kitchen Table" tells about four young women who defied Hitler and struggled to save their loved ones. Through the years, Carol had heard their stories over kitchen tables. This is different from most Holocaust novels as it tells the story from five different perspectives. She has started her next novel, "The Day the Chalkboard Fell," which is based on teaching experiences in Mississippi the year the schools were forcibly integrated. She is passionate about providing a meaningful public education that allows all children to reach their full potential.
