'The Handmaid's Tale'
My junior year I was blessed to have one of the best English teachers to ever exist. English teachers themselves are blessings already, but this one, Mrs. Harpster, has been one of the best. All year she'd recommend, subtly, her favorite book, which happened to be The Handmaid's Tale. She never revealed too much and as the year progressed the Hulu trailer began to accompany her two sentence explanations. Our entire class was intrigued. None of us got around to reading it, but it was in all of our minds. For that I thank her; however, that was a year ago... This year, my final long and drawn out year of high school, I was assigned an independent project. Many book titles were hurtled my way, but as soon as I saw The Handmaid's Tale on that list, I knew it was time. And time it was.
