    About this ebook

    Of course college senior Hester Primm was aware that she had a “Permanent Record.” She had been told, as had countless other school kids all their lives, to keep it clean...or suffer some vague future Consequences. Well, who’d’ve thunk that that very same P-R-scam would be pulled on her as a graduating senior in the home stretch? Not Hester, that’s for sure and all for trying to NOT do what she thought was the wrong thing. Go figure...

    Trying to work within-the-system, might-makes-right, and good-guys-rush-in all collide in this sober-yet-satirical look at campus politics in the 21st century.

    On a side note, campus life will probably only get worse.
