Showing results for "A Society" in Coming of Age

The Secret Sewing Society is a sweeping, heartbreaking tale about a devastating family mystery, a doomed love affair, and generations of women coming together against the odds. Fans of Evie Woods, Fiona Valpy and The Keeper of Happy Endings will be utterly swept away.

At New England boys boarding school Welton Academy, tradition is celebrated and high achievement is expected.

FACT: Unbeknownst to eleven-year-old Theresa "Tessie" Finley, she's in over her head.

Anna Buchanan is a freshman college student with one plan: travel abroad. Except . . . college life isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Her new roommate definitely has a quirky side.

He won’t, because he cares about me. We’ve been together in this from the beginning, despite the edicts he was raised on and the society he was groomed to follow.

Becoming virtuous demands a sinful price. Our role at Briarcliff has a deeper consequence than the nightly rituals and cloaked costumes the Nobles are so fond of. We’re barely visible, peripheral shadows who hold the deadliest keys. And we’re done being a secret society’s dirty little secret.

Do not, under any circumstances, uncover it and put it in the hands of Chase Stone, no matter how much his handsome, heartbreaking face begs you to trust him.
