She is also very pregnant and trapped in a classroom with her Grade 12 students during a lockdown. Anthony, the cause of the lockdown, is roaming the halls with a knife in search of some solace, consumed by thoughts of his best friend Samantha's suicide attempt. Maria, the school's counsellor, is second-guessing her decision to turn him in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the lockdown drags on, Elise can no longer deny that she's going into labour. And she'll have to rely on the students to get her through: Shai-Anna and Faduma end up acting as midwives, and the others do what they can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn't your typical lockdown story. With clear-eyed empathy, Born explores the many pitfalls and utopian possibilities of the school system, motherhood, and caregiving, and the sometimes fraught, sometimes transcendent nature of the student-teacher relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coach House Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49887386927352,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":37.11,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781552455005-1.jpg?v=1783720458","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/zh\/products\/9781552455005","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
