INTRODUCTION
Teach Me
"There has been an earthquake in my life," says Carolina "Nine" Livingston, inviting you inside an experience that fascinates everyone—an affair between a teacher and a student—and giving an up close-and-personal answer to the question: How does this happen?
A novel about a love so intense that the person you're with becomes your world, Teach Me is a book that makes you question, makes you think, and most of all makes you feel.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

- Have you or anyone you know ever had your heart broken as badly as Nine? If so, how did you or the other person handle the heartbreak?
