From Booklist Christopher Park is a small Oklahoma village in need of a schoolteacher to replace the nun who's on the verge of a breakdown. Claire Destefano is a recent graduate in search of a mission and a reason not to marry her handsome, welloff suitor from her hometown of Cleveland. Claire volunteers to teach for one year; her suitor offers to postpone the wedding. In Christopher Park, Claire finds eccentric folk and a warm welcome. The reception truly warms up when she meets the newspaper editor and falls in love. Unfortunately, while the editor cannot resist the genteel schoolteacher, he is also a man who tries to evade responsibility and stability. Clement's first novel is a sweet story, troubled by sudden emotional jolts zapped in to channel the direction of the story. When her writing smooths out, Clement will be an even better storyteller than she already is. Denise Perry Donavin Product Description Claire DeStefano, a deeply religious, twentyoneyearold woman, leaves her home in Clevelandfleeing her repressive family and her fiance+a7to accept a job as a teacher in at a parochial school in Christopher Park, Oklahoma. From Publishers Weekly Set in 1960, Clement's first novel chronicles several significant months in the life of Claire DeStefano. Leaving her closeknit ItalianAmerican family and her suburban Cleveland home behind, recent college graduate Claire takes a teaching job in Christopher Park, a small town in rural Oklahoma. There, she encounters numerous local eccentrics, attempts to improve the lot of a sexually abused teenager and copes with an emotionally unstable teaching colleague. She also has her first real love affair, with wise, sexy Leon, the town's harddrinking newspaperman. Engaging, though rambling, the plot drifts from one event to the next, offering a compassionate view of a young woman's coming of age. Except for an occasional blast of breathless pretentiousness (" 'You should have warned me when I was five that you have to break new ground every day,' " she says to her mother), the writing is earnest and forthright. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From the Publisher In the tradition of Willa Cather, a novel about quintessential smalltown America, and a woman who must find her own heart in the alien Southwest.
