Description

In this poignant coming-of-age novel, readers are introduced to a bright and ambitious first-generation Black student navigating the challenging landscape of Dartmouth College. The protagonist, full of hope and determination, grapples with the weight of expectations and the realities of being in an elite academic environment that often feels alien. The journey portrays the nuances of identity, belonging, and the struggle to maintain authenticity amidst the pressures of a prestigious institution.

Set against the backdrop of Ivy League traditions and social dynamics, the narrative unfolds with a blend of humor, introspection, and powerful insights into the experiences of marginalized voices in academia. As friendships blossom and hurdles are encountered, the young student learns to reconcile her aspirations with the complexities of her heritage. The story not only highlights her quest for self-discovery but also sheds light on the broader implications of race, privilege, and perseverance in a world that often seems divided.
