Sweat Sisters

By Sansing McPherson

The year is 2010, and four New Jersey middle school teachers are sweating their way through an unsettled contract, an aerobics class, and menopause. Alicia has started muttering to her scales. Barbara hasn't slept well in years. Phoebe gets her energy from avenging anger. And Marianna? Marianna is a train wreck. The national political climate looms relentlessly over them as they feel the sting of an aggressive new governor on the attack against teachers and other public employees. They bond, cry, console, and laugh together. They endure meltdowns, betrayals, and reinventions that ultimately bring them to a new understanding of themselves and the political realities that frustrate their desire to "just teach my kids."
