Against the backdrop of a small liberal arts campus where stepping out of line could carry serious consequences, three women—a newbie college student and her two professor moms—navigate the tricky shoals of loyalty, lust, and illness as they struggle to come to terms with what it means to be a family. You'll want to lecture them about their poor decision-making at the same time you give them a great big hug. Fans of women's fiction writers like Barbara Davis and Diane Chamberlain will enjoy this multi-layered, fast-paced debut novel.
