Some are called to serve in schools. Some are called to write. Davenport is called to both. - Annie Dillard. Steve Davenport's novel is fast-paced, entertaining and singularly evocative of the pressure-cooker atmosphere of a boarding school. ---Rachel Belash, Former Head of Miss Porter's School, Farmington, CT. If you are an educator and care about leadership and the role played by change in the life of a school, read this wonderful book. -- Rod Napier, President of the Napier Group, consultant, and author of The Courage to Act and Intentional Design And The Process of Change. SAVING MISS OLIVER'S is a fascinating novel, a school story vibrant with personalities, crises, hopes, idealism, laughter, tears, struggle and soaring spirit. ----The reader will care intensely about the persons and events in this book, the drama and comedy vividly alive in it. --David Mallery, seminar leader and consultant to schools in the U.S. and abroad. I was enthralled by the stories within the story, and moved to tears by the strength and bravery of the characters who so quickly became my friends. This is a story of struggle and disappointment, but most of all, it is a story about wisdom and hope.----Jessie-lea Abbott, former Head of School, Katherine Delmar Burke School, San Francisco, CA A strong, beautifully wrought, engaging novel.--- Peter Tacy, former Executive Director of the Connecticut Association of Independent Schools. Steve Davenport is a consummate school master and a gifted writer. -- Peter Buttenheim, formerly of Sanford School, Hocckessin, Delaware
