Although, when she began teaching in the real ACE program, depicted in Shades of Gray, she had no idea that it would change her life forever. Having been out of the classroom for a few years, Jacoby Hale still felt the need to make a difference in the lives of students.
She had a fondness for writing since she was a child, but it wasn’t until many years later that Jacoby Hale felt the need to tell the story of a dedicated teacher.
