As a gifted child I struggled greatly with balancing my "social" and "academic" worlds. Being raised in a small, rural football community didn't make growing intellectually that much easier. I poured all of these struggles and ideas and questions into ANOTHER SIDE OF PARADISE, and I think your members would be interested in viewing these issues from the perspective of a gifted student (I wrote the premise for the book shortly after turning 18). |
