Sommario/riassunto

Elodie is 17. She's French. She washes her legs before going to church. She believes in God. Otto is 15. He's a German soldier. Bulletproof skin. Eyes that could pierce tanks. He was part of a firing squad today. It's 1944. Outside, the world around them is exploding. Inside, the room shakes. Elodie and Otto's naked bodies touch.

Sommario/riassunto

Despite the rising interest in school districts, there are relatively few comprehensive resources available for graduate students in educational leadership programs.
