The Boundaries We Cross by Brad Parks



  


This book hit home.  Any educator lives in dread of false accusations.  This holds particularly true when dealing with kids from troubled environments, regardless of income status.  Mr. Bliss is accused of inappropriate contact with a fictional, prestigious prep school student. 

The perils in trying to defend oneself when faced with wealthy, status-conscious, reputation-mongering parents are clearly defined.  Mr. Bliss’s personal relationships take a nosedive. Colleagues shun him on unfounded accusations, and due process does not exist. 

Then murder, addiction and unscrupulous police actions add spice to the mix.

Parks did a great job in crafting a tale that was emotionally hard to read due to the tension, loneliness, and anxiety of the protagonist. 

I recommend the book.
