Tattletales From School
A Novel of Bullying in the 60s
Maryanne J. Kane, PhD
Bullying is a sad reality of life that begins all too soon and forever changes the bully and the bullied.
In Tattletales From School, Dr. Maryanne Kane tells the story of two, young girls, Annie Fitzgerald - loving and awkward - and Carrie Jacobs - angry and resentful - who are trapped in their own and shared cycles of pain and violence.
Dr. Kane sensitively explores - and unflinchingly depicts - Annie’s and Carrie’s experiences, separately and together, to reach the roots of what leads one child to physically, emotionally and psychologically abuse another.
Raw and real, it is also a tale of how all of us can find not only the strength to rise above our challenges, but personal forgiveness and redemption, through faith - both in ourselves and something greater. The most important lesson from school for Carrie, Annie and us is that there are no definitive answers to any of our questions - but there is always hope.
