Publisher's Synopsis
Judy Bebelaar has a fat folder labeled with a red heart. It is full of notes - heartfelt, sweet and sometimes funny - from her students in San Francisco public high schools where she taught for 37 years. She and her students won many writing awards, both local and national. Her prize-winning poetry has been published widely in magazines and anthologies including The Widows' Handbook, River of Earth and Sky, and the Squaw Valley Review. Sky Holding Fall began as a chapbook called Walking Across the Pacific. Her non-fiction book, And Then They Were Gone: Teenagers of Peoples Temple from High School to Jonestown (co-authored with Ron Cabral), has won ten awards and honors.
