Kiki returns to MN to find that her teaching credentials in NC do not transfer. The year is full of pitfalls, including creepy housemates, roofies, and a supervisor who hates her. Here's how she learned (the hard way) and how she survived.
Reviews from Season 1:
"What Grit Sounds Like — The old saying goes, 'history is written by the winners.' It's true. But sometimes survivors and over-comers share their stories too. Here is a series, not just one memory, knitted through the life of an individual who's striven for much, gained plenty, but at every turn "shouldn't have" made it. She did. Now she's sharing. The arc is brilliant, the questioning in-depth while...concise..., all pieces relevant for those with ears willing to hear."

"Moving and great fun — Amazing (but true) stories from Kiki's life told with style, drama, and humor. Very well done!"
