Eifler... wrote her book with the busy educator, catechist and administrator in mind. It is a compilation of separate humorous, touching and meaningful reflections about the grace she discovered in her students and fellow teachers. The 30 true stories, which add up to a month of Mondays, open with a chocolate bar fundraiser heist, which clearly sets the stage for an interesting book.Eifler's stories might just be the jolt that many weary teachers desperately need on a hectic Monday. The stories, many of which have universal themes and characters (the "world's best kindergarten teacher" teaches lifelong lessons, the troublemaking eighth-grader actually does have a soft spot), will encourage readers to remember that students and peers are examples of grace that continually change perspectives and teach the teachers.-- Regina Lordan, Catholic News Service (Read the full review)
