Richard Cory, Revisited (a love story)

WELCOME TO LOGANBERRY MIDDLE SCHOOL, BUT BEWARE, THERE’S A PREDATOR HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT.

Richard Cory Revisited is the story of Cynthia Rodriguez, a recent hire at Loganberry Middle School. Cynthia is calculating, manipulative, and has the instincts of a wild cat.

Worried about losing her job, Cynthia stumbles upon a damaging sexual assault police report about Principal Ed Strong and threatens to expose him. Then it becomes he who is worried about losing his job. Their twisted relationship turns the school upside down.

The central question asks: Did Cynthia alert the other teachers to Principal Strong’s deviance by her self-serving ways, or was she just a conniving opportunist trying to get ahead?

When English teacher Mike O'Reilly suspects something fishy is going on, he sets out to get to the bottom of it-but at what cost?

Meanwhile, Baby Jesus statues are being stolen from outdoor Nativity sets; a proposal to site a landfill behind Mike O'Reilly’s house divides the community; the violent sexual assault of a male student is shared with his guidance counselor; and the gym teacher’s risky liver transplant play prominently in this fast-paced thriller/love story.
