It\'s 1994 and Lenore Littlefield is a junior at Briarwood School for Girls.
He teaches creative writing at the University of Tennessee and lives in Knoxville with his family..
About the Author: MICHAEL Knight is the author of the novels The Typist and Divining Rod; the short story collections Eveningland, Goodnight Nobody and Dogfight and Other Stories; and the novella The Holiday Season.
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.
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.
If successful, the development will forever alter the character of Prince William County, VA, and have unforeseeable consequences for the school.
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.
Everything, in other words, is under control.
She has told no one that she\'s pregnant.
History is her favorite subject.
She hates her roommate.
She plays basketball.
