Meet The Author at the Pyramid Club

Just days before the school year begins, Tarique Connelly is catapulted into a full-time teaching role at a Philadelphia public school. Inside the classroom, he struggles to engage his students. Outside, the support he expects never materializes. As the pressure builds, he begins to question whether his efforts can make a difference in a system that too often fails both students and teachers. After a sudden injury forces him to step away, he travels to India in search of stillness and a way back to himself. Months later, as the pandemic disrupts classrooms worldwide, he resurfaces in Mexico, teaching through flickering screens and fragile Wi-Fi. When he returns, he faces students shaped by isolation. Answering that call, he discovers that the most important lessons are the ones that change the teacher too.
