The University
A novel by
C.K. Houck

Remember the last time you were on campus? The stately buildings—the well-tended grounds—a place most people consider a safe haven. ‘The University’ transports readers to such a time-honored place. Only this year, a tranquil place it is not. It’s fall, the start of a new year at fictitious Brighton University and Provost David Bradford is doing his best to hold things together when the seemingly placid campus is thrown into a tumult that shakes the prestigious school to its core.

 Marjorie Starr, a stunning young chemist, has just arrived, energized and ready to begin her first faculty position. Leaving behind the privileged life she could easily have, she’s determined to make it on her own and embrace the small-town life but soon becomes entangled in campus scandals. 

Across campus on sorority row, Susan Arnold breezes into town about to face a senior year she never imagined. 

Power. Greed. New beginnings. Young lives tragically cut short. Dive into this compelling story of intertwined lives at this iconic school for one unforgettable school year
