Extracurricular - Book 1 of 3

BOOK 1 OF JOSIE BROWN'S NEW 3-NOVEL EPISODIC SERIES:

Audrey Thorpe's dirty little secret will soon be the downfall of everyone and everything she holds dear: love, family, friends, and her high school alma mater.

It's your child's senior year. A private prep school's reputation is at stake. A math teacher refuses to grade his final exams on a curve. Students have only one more shot at the SAT before college applications are due.

And a few desperate parents with much more money than brains are willing to do anything to get their children into Ivy League colleges.

In EXTRACURRICULAR, new lust, old loves, a dark family secret, and rich crazy parents behaving badly lead to a college admissions cheating scandal, setting off a crisis of conscience for the parents, teachers, administrator, and the students involved

And a catharsis for one couple about their marriage.

[NOTE TO READERS: As with all episodic series, Books 1 and 2 end on cliffhangers to be resolved in Book 3]
