LITERATURE

Getting In

Author: James Finney Boylan

In "Getting In" acclaimed novelist James Finney Boylan takes readers through a rollicking--and moving--rite of pasage with four hopeful high-school seniors ( and one hopelessly dysfunctional family) as they careen across America's Garden of Ivy at its most tangled, its most sexy, and its most hysterical. What they're looking for is a place to put down roots for four years. But what they discover is who they really are and what they really want. If only they can survive the college interview.
