Description
The Tight White Collar is primarily the story of a man who had a dream, and of the people who prevented his dream from coming true. Christopher Pappas, whose dream was to be the best teacher who ever taught, wanted to teach truth, selflessness and justice in a small town in New England called Cooper Station.
But he was a “native”, and he was married to a woman named Lisa who refused to accept the conventions. And then Anthony Cooper came home and in Lisa he found a reason for staying alive.
When Chris was first offered a job as teacher in Cooper Station high school, only one woman, Doris Delaney Palmer, opposed him. Doris said that Chris and Lisa were “undesirables,” but in her heart she was frightened because while Lisa and Chris had made a mistake which they admitted to the world, Doris herself had made a mistake and could not ever tell her husband about it.
Cooper Station was filled with people who faced and solved an issue. This is the vivid and moving story of these people; of Chris and Lisa Pappas and of those who were for and against them, told with the same narrative power and penetrating insight into character and motive that made Peyton Place one of the outstanding best-sellers of all time.
