Andi Davis is looking for a way out of her disorganised, dysfunctional home life, and West Point seems to offer the perfect escape. But Andi soon learns that nothing could have prepared her for the gruelling first six weeks of cadet training, better known as Beast.
This first novel by Amy Efaw, herself a West Point graduate, is a powerful, unsettling and ultimately inspiring look at an intensely private community with its own rules and regulations, that few ever see and even fewer survive.
