Pat Conroy, an ambitious and somewhat rebellious idealistic teacher, agrees to the offer from the school board superintendent of Bennington County, SC, to teach the impoverished African American children in the fishing community on Yamacrew Island. The school’s leader, the inept and rigid headmistress Brown, embodies ignorance and strict adherence to rules, relying on scolding and physical punishment as her teaching methods.
