Professor Karen Manarin wants to change how her students read. Faced with a campus full of passive, distracted readers, she launches an ambitious plan to transform critical thinking across the curriculum. But as she battles apathy and resistance from both faculty and students, Manarin must confront her own doubts about whether true change is possible. In the end, her journey to revitalize the lost art of deep reading becomes a moving testament to the power of engaged, thoughtful inquiry.
