More about Love and Other Subjects by Kathleen Shoop: 

Setting:  Summertime is ideal for touring our nation’s capital. Who needs the metro? We’ll stroll the National Mall with stops at The Smithsonian, Lincoln Memorial and Museum of Air & Space. If we’re not too tired, we’ll climb the 800+ steps to the top of the Washington Monument!  

Plot: Carolyn Jenkins strives for two things — to be the greatest teacher ever and to find true love. Carolyn depends on her friends to get her through the hard times, but with poverty-stricken children at her feet and a wealthy man at her side, she must define who she is. Can Carolyn take control and craft the life she’s always wanted?
