There are many watchers and they are always white.Thats the first thing Echo notices as she settles into Dartmouth College. Despite graduating high school in Cleveland as valedictorian, Echo immediately struggles to keep up in demanding classes. Dartmouth made many promises it couldn’t keep. The campus is not a rainbow-colored utopia where education lifts every voice. Nor is it a paradise of ideas, an incubator of inclusivity, or even an exciting dating scene. But it might be a portal to different dimensions of time and spaceonly accessible if Echo accepts her calling as a Chosen One and takes charge of her future by healing her past.This remarkable challenge demands vulnerability, humility, and the conviction to ask for help without sacrificing self-worth.
