Description
Portia Nathan has built a carefully ordered life around her demanding work as a Princeton admissions officer, evaluating the hopes and ambitions of talented applicants while keeping her own past firmly out of sight. When a long-buried personal history unexpectedly resurfaces, she must confront difficult questions about loyalty, identity, family, and the choices that have shaped her. Set against the competitive and morally complex world of elite college admissions, this thoughtful novel explores the many meanings of acceptance—and the courage required to acknowledge truths we would rather keep hidden.
