She Too

By R. Read

Based on true events, this story could happen Thursday this week on your campus, in your town. Early readers confirm that while flawed in its literary presentation, it is an important and gut-grabbing read. You'll see in news stories, hazing has moved to another level, and attention must be given to coaches and athletic departments who try to cover it up.Frankie and Beau are athletes at Cal immersed in the high stakes game of scholarship dollars, grade points vs good times; coping in a sea of disillusion. Drugs and alcohol, mixed with mattress and foam parties result in greater risk than concussions, wins or losses. This story is about what is not covered in freshman orientation. Coaches have a 24/48 rule; 21 is just a number. Frankie's crew has girls' night out; hazing is illegal. Bowie's boating team hosts a free alcohol, DJ dance party; this party begins after "pre-gaming". Add a rival campus Greek life scavenger hunt bringing guests from across the way for loot, and the story takes its dark turn. It's all just another "20 minutes of action" to some.Readers say:"This book stayed inside of me. The story is so real, so powerful and unfortunately happens far more than any of us want to believe. The writing is swift and matter of fact in it's style as it tells us the story without a slant. But you feel it in your guts. It is particularly timely given the current happenings of our society and is an important read." HBL "...disturbing...but happens. It needs to be exposed. The start of the story starts of presenting this beautiful fun memory of my college years, it painted the picture of how fun and awesome college is. But it ends with showing the dark underside of Greek life, and hyper-masculinity." SE"Having read the story I can tell you that it is AMAZING. Strong voice. Powerful story. Be prepared to be rocked." AH. "...great read, albeit disturbing. I learned a lot about...college culture in general these days. Highly recommend!" AB"Story is written in a unique style that may just push the work into the literary eye...relentless drive...apocalyptic." RL
