She plays basketball. She hates her roommate. History is her favorite subject. She has told no one that she's pregnant. Everything, in other words, is under control. Meanwhile, Disney has announced plans to build a new theme park just up the road, a "Technicolor simulacrum of American History" right in the middle of one of the most history-rich regions of the country. If successful, the development will forever alter the character of Prince William County, VA, and have unforeseeable consequences for the school. When the threat of the theme park begins to intrude on the lives of the faculty and students at Briarwood, secrets will be revealed and unexpected alliances will form. Lenore must decide whom she can trust--will it be a middle-aged history teacher struggling to find purpose in his humdrum life? A lonely basketball coach tasked with directing the school play? A reclusive playwright still grappling with her own Briarwood legacy? Or a teenage ghost equally adept at communicating with the living via telephone or Ouija board? Following a cast of memorable characters as they reckon with questions about fate, history, and the possibility of happiness, At Briarwood School for Girls is a stunning and inventive new work from a master storyteller"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Boarding schools $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Amusement parks $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage pregnancy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ghost stories. 941 $a 6 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529015613.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200130012200.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20190619010513.0 952 $l FPPC224 $d 20190618015510.0 952 $l DYPD423 $d 20190611011617.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190416010829.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0FBE0D40600D11E9A0A3E83D97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
