Set in the backdrop of a prestigious all-girls boarding school, this
provocative novel explores the personal lives of those within the
school's small community and the empowerment, strength, and resolve it
must find in the face of a surprise adversary.
After a tumultuous transitional year at the prestigious boarding school,
Rachel Bickham now leads as the new head of Miss Oliver's School for
Girls, ready to rush in an era of renewal and success. With beloved
teacher Francis Plummer by her side, surely she can conquer anything
thrown at her, perhaps even finally start a family of her own. But
lately Rachel hears nothing about Francis's classes, once legend among
the students. . . In fact, the praises have been suspiciously absent. In
the meantime, financial crisis still looms over the school, and now
there are rumors spreading of a big scandal concerning one of the
students, Claire Nelson, who is like a daughter to Rachel. To save
Claire from expulsion and preserve the school's reputation, Rachel must
come up with a daring plan that may risk everything--her career,
marriage, even the special bond with Claire--but it may just save them
all.
This is the follow-up to Davenport's first novel, Saving Miss
Oliver's.
