The Teacher — Steven E. Wedel

Andrew Clausing is a teacher who has lost nearly everything. His wife left him. His teenage daughter hates him. He drinks too much. The only things he has are a love of teaching, his relationship as a mentor to his students, and a secret affair with another teacher who happens to be married to a state senator. When one of his female students mistakes his kindness for romantic interest, Andrew is faced with losing the few things he has left in his life.
