About This Book

A sophomore's return to college unfolds through episodes of friendship, responsibilities, and campus events: she reconnects with close friends, volunteers on committees, and participates in musical and social activities. The narrative mixes light humor and tension, including a practical joke involving disguise that provokes a stern rebuke, an agile classmate who intervenes when others are frightened, and seasonal highlights such as concerts, skating festivities, and a Christmas surprise. Scenes emphasize daily routines, social dynamics among roommates and classmates, and the small-scale conflicts and reconciliations of student life.
