- Summary:
- Established in 1798, Milton Academy has a proud history: it has educated artists and CEOs, and produced a long line of distinguished scholars and dignitaries. The public face of Milton had always been one of integrity--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. Today's teens face a wider array of social and sexual opportunities, and pressures, than ever before. Through its sensitive depiction of a group of normal kids with normal struggles, this book offers an important look at contemporary adolescence, written by two recent Milton graduates who know this world, and these students, like no others.--From publisher description.
