Evelyn in Purgatory Plot Summary: When complaints are filed against Chicago Public School teachers, they are sent to a Reassignment Center where they wait for months for their cases to be reviewed. Evelyn Reid lands in ‘the rubber room,’ where she encounters a group of teachers who have lost any hope of returning to a classroom. Over the course of the school year, these colleagues form an unlikely alliance, reminding each other of forgotten passions. They emerge ready to face life outside in unexpected new directions. They also learn French and workshop a screenplay.
