Spending the night in juvie wasn't the worst thing to happen to seven-year-old Teresa that summer. When her much-anticipated cross-country vacation turns to abduction, Teresa is forced to care for her mother, sister, and twin brothers. Homeless, abused, and afraid in the slums of San Francisco's Tenderloin District, Teresa finds joy in her adventures while fantasizing of a better life. Keeping this dream alive throughout her childhood is what drives her to end the cycle of abuse and poverty.

Adopted at birth, Marylee's parents told her she was a "chosen child". She tried her hardest to make them proud, but her parents' divorce sent her into the comforting arms of a handsome Catholic boy. She surrendered to passion. Unfortunately, it was 1961. Pregnant girls were sent away, and their babies given up for adoption. If you like truthful accounts laced with the passion of youth and the wisdom of age, listen to Marylee MacDonald's funny and poignant memoir about how we grow up, grow old, and learn to accept ourselves.

Learning is about making connections, and we invite you to learn and connect with us. Connect Canyons is a show about what we teach in Canyons District, how we teach, and why. We get up close and personal with some of the people who make our schools great: students, teachers, principals, parents, and more. We meet national experts, too. And we spotlight the “connection makers” — personalities, programs and prospects — we find compelling and inspiring.
