An honest, intimate look at the lives of
today's teens—told through the true experiences of friends
at a New England prep school
Established in 1798, Milton Academy has a proud history of
achievement. It has educated artists and CEOs; it has
produced a long line of distinguished scholars and
dignitaries; and it has shepherded students through the
world of high-pressure academics for generations. Since its
founding, the public face of Milton had always been one of
integrity and pride . . . until a sex scandal rocked the
campus and made headlines in the spring of 2005. The
offense? Teenagers doing no more than what others had done
before them—except this time they got caught.
Restless Virgins is the riveting real-life story of a
group of seniors who were there as the "incident" (as it
came to be called) unfolded: Whitney, the athletic and
sensual beauty every girl wants to be; Annie, who craves
acceptance but is torn between the desire for peer approval
and musical success; Jillian, the smart one who is sick of
high school drama and desperate to go to college; and Reed,
a "hockey god" who has it all but whose charisma masks a
secret insecurity. From "friends with benefits" to
STDs, today's teens face a wider array of social and sexual
opportunities—and pressures—than ever before. Through its
eye-opening yet sensitive depiction of a group of normal
kids with normal struggles, Restless Virgins offers
an important look at contemporary adolescence no teen,
parent, or educator can afford to miss. And it is written by
two recent Milton graduates who know this world—and these
students—like no others.
