Living by Ear: Memoir of a Wayward Teacher by Sharon Rhutasel-Jones (English) Pa

Description: Living by Ear by Sharon Rhutasel-Jones Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In her humorous and poignant memoir, Living by Ear, Sharon Rhutasel puts readers into a classroom with the kinds of adolescents everyone knows. She brings to life real kids sharing a part of their lives with a wayward teacher, as she calls herself, who is guided more by her heart than by her lesson plans. Among her students, we meet a bored overachiever who just wanted to be pointed in an interesting direction and told to explore, an insecure boy who overcame stuttering to become a published writer, and a poet who hated high school then became a teacher. Along with taking us through parts of her fifty-one years of teaching, Rhutasel gives us the backstories of her role-model father and the childhood sweetheart she married even though he caused her to break her nose by crashing into a fire hydrant. As Living by Ear continues to unfold, we experience the tragedy of her widowhood as well as the vicissitudes of her second marriage to a mirror image of herself. She sprinkles poems and recipes into tales of barbers, a music teacher, and a fishmonger. Some of her stories can serve as a tantalizing tour through parts of Africa as well as northern New Mexico. Through it all, we know she has listened to her heart, insisting that our hearts have a special kind of wisdom that is inaccessible to rational thinking. Author Biography Sharon Rhutasel lives in the village of Los Ranchos, New Mexico with her husband Larry Jones and their two cats. She has taught thirty-six of her half century of teaching at Menaul School in the heart of Albuquerque. Her new career as a writer will give her a chance to follow the advice she has given her students to: "Show; dont tell." "Be specific." "Include the senses." "Write about the things you know and care about." Her always interesting, sometimes frustrating, unfailingly satisfying seven decades of listening to her heart have whizzed by in an exciting jumble of passionate waywardness.
