IN BOOK 1 OF JOSIE BROWN'S LATEST 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 have much more money than brains.

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 novel series, Books 1 and 2 end in cliffhangers and all plot threads are resolved in Book 3]

In the third and final installment of the Extracurricular series:

A tragic death catalyzes a power play for control of  Ashbury Academy’s trustee board. Daniel’s covert actions, however, have Audrey questioning his vow to protect Lavinia’s legacy at the school.

The arrests resulting in the FBI’s investigation into Miranda’s college admissions fraud bring tragedy to some of the families involved, and unexpected opportunities to others.

Can Ashbury Academy survive this scandal?

An even bigger question:

Will Audrey’s marriage—and her family—fall apart after her long-held secret is finally revealed?

PRAISE FOR EXTRACURRICULAR - BOOK 3:

"The final installment of the Extracurricular series is an emotional rollercoaster that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat, flipping pages until the sweet, satisfying end.

Never before have I started a book with tears in my eyes as I have with this book, only to have my heart ripped out again and again.

Just when I think there will be no hope for anyone in this story to find happiness again, or justice to be served…. Well, you’ll have to read the book to find out who gets their just desserts and who doesn’t.

Let me just say, Ms. Brown didn’t disappoint. This is a very timely story given today’s headlines with the subject of college admissions scandals. Ms. Brown gives a glimpse into the mentality of desperate parents, privileged parents, and more."—Gail Chianese, author, Love Runs Deep
