Having disagreements with her son's new teacher, Kevin Holts, is the least of her problems, or so she thinks. Dr. Thad is losing his mind and it looks like the business is heading downhill, and Kevin is her ex-boyfriend who is now super successful. Kevin and Becky's views on schooling apparently differ, especially when it comes to charity and the school food drive. The further the business falters and she is expected to pick up the slack at work, the more demanding are her issues with her son and school. Between her sexual trysts with Hayes Bandercook at the Fox Motel and juggling her everyday life, Becky's frustration is about to catch up with her. When the truth comes out and everything blows up, Becky has to learn to start over.

This was not one of the most enjoyable books I have read, however, THE BURNED BRIDGES OF WARD, NEBRASKA certainly had its moments. The reading, to me, was not something that left me as relaxed as I usually intend when enjoying a book. I firmly believe Eileen Curtright is a gifted writer, just not the style that I enjoy most, but the situations are clever and humorous throughout the story.
