The Teacher

"The Teacher" is a fun, heartwarming, hilarious, moving memoir about mothers, teachers and their powerful lessons that stick with us. Told by one of Anne Gallagher's eight children – her son Marty – this book serves to illustrate who she was to the author's children, nieces and nephews. This is a collection of stories about the final 12 days of her life, as she battled cancer. There are several funny and touching anecdotes mixed in, along with the lessons she was still teaching in her final days and hours. Even with her last breath.
