A striking debut novel about a college freshman grappling with the challenges of attending an elite university with a disturbing racist history, which may not be as distant as it seems.

A searing debut. -Entertainment Weekly

Savannah Howard thought everyone followed the same checklist to get into Wooddale University:

Take the hardest classes

Get perfect grades

Give up a social life to score a full ride to a top school

But now that shes on campus, its clear theres a different rule book. Take student body president, campus royalty, and racist jerk Lucas Cunningham. Its no secret money bought his acceptance letter. And hes not the only one. Savannah tries to keep to head down, but when the statue of the universitys first Black president is vandalized, how can she look away? Someone has to put a stop to the injustice. But will telling the truth about Wooddales racist past cost Savannah her own future?

First-time novelist Kristen R. Lee delivers a page-turning, thought-provoking story that exposes racism and hypocrisy on college campuses, and champions those who refuse to let it continue.
