An ironic and compelling antifairy tale, Angel Park?An American Story provides an inside view of the forces that are strangling public schoolsracism, power politics, blind tradition, and outrageous egoand uncovers the deep erosion in the underlayers of the American Dream. In a fictional city called Cornwall, where the school system echoes the best and the worst of American life, the larger purpose of the public schools seems lost, and creative effort appears useless against the inertia of the status quo. Set in the mid1990s, as the world hurtles toward the millennium, Angel Park reflects the harsh realities that hold the entire country in conflict and stasis. As she begins to understand the human impulses behind these realities, Constance Demetrios, a divorced school administrator with an empty nest, weathers a petition against the high school principal, the cluelessness of the school board, her bosss suicide, the humiliation of her favorite coworker, and, finally, a burning need to escape Cornwall for a better life. In the wilds of upstate New York, she discovers her own answers about school, life, and her purposeand unravels the philosophical basis for the plight of the postindustrial world. Ultimately, Connie comes upon an astonishing vision of the ways the universe is pushing humanityand Americatoward its own evolution.
