The Second-Time Teacher: Lessons from Afghanistan - Paperback

Against a backdrop of war, poverty, extreme physical injury, disability and suffering the reader accompanies physiotherapy teacher Ian Edwards on a thirty year journey of experiences in war devastated Afghanistan and impoverished and remote rural Mexico.

This story traverses the full spectrum of humanity, from violence and social injustice to unreserved hospitality and compassion. Edwards reflects upon and makes sense of these experiences in self revealing dialogues with his recently deceased brother Paul and his young granddaughter Ocean.
