They're here for a higher education . . . and you won't
believe how far they'll go.
Dexter College is a
small liberal arts college in the quiet town of Home, Maine.
But it won't stay quiet for long with this group of
freshmen. There's Shipley--blonde and beautiful, the object
of envy and more than a little lust. Determined to assert
herself and to shed her good-girl image, she buys cigarettes
and condoms, because that's what every self-respecting
college girl does. Her edgy roommate, Eliza, came to Dexter
to get noticed, and she has the attitude and the mouth to
prove it. Then there's Tom. Handsome, privileged, used to
getting his own way, he's a jock-turned-artist who thinks
his paintings will change the world. Sensitive Nick, Tom's
wake-and-bake pot-smoking roommate, wants to follow in the
footsteps of his boarding-school hero. And then there are
brother and sister Adam and Tragedy Gatz. The freckle-faced
farm boy lives at home with his parents and his little
sister, who does all she can to stop him from being a
wuss.
As Shipley, Eliza, Tom, Nick, and Adam find
out, that first year of college is more than credits and
cramming. Between the lust and the love, the secrecy and the
scandal, they'll all receive an unexpected education. It's a
time of shifting alliances, unrequited crushes, and coming
of age. Find Yourself is Dexter's motto. And they are
determined to do just that
