Description
At an elite New England college celebrated for progressive ideals, its first female president faces mounting student protests after a beloved professor is denied tenure. When the charismatic leader of the movement enters the conflict, demands for justice become entangled with questions of power, privilege, free speech, and institutional responsibility. As acts of vandalism unsettle the campus, the president must navigate an increasingly volatile crisis that challenges her convictions and threatens the community she was chosen to lead. This incisive campus novel explores the fault lines between activism and coercion, personal loyalty and public duty, and the uneasy pursuit of social change.
