Ambitious Cassandra Sato traded her life in Hawai'i for a dream position as Student Affairs VP at Morton College in tiny Carson, Nebraska. She expected the Midwestern church casseroles, land-locked cornfields, and face-freezing winters would be her biggest challenges, but it's her job that's rapidly becoming a nightmare.
A deaf student is dead and the investigation reveals a complicated trail of connections between campus food service, a local farmer's beef, and the science lab's cancer research. Together with her few allies, Cassandra must protect the students caught up in the entanglement.
Dealing with homesickness, vandalism, and a stalker, Cassandra is trapped in a public relations disaster that could cost her job, or more. No one said college was easy.
Wow! What a brilliant start to what I hope will be a long series! Kelly Brakenhoff pulled out the Cozy stops and wrote a page turner and a half.
Most people head to the warmth of Hawai'i but Cassandra Sato (Japanese Hawaian) has done the opposite by heading for a new job in Nebraska, it does help that one of her best friends is also at the College and she helps Cassandra settle in. Only with her boss headed to China she has been left with a PR nightmare with a dead deaf student (which stuns her friend Meg who is the translator for Morton College), other students being ill, people basically ignoring her because of her Asian background, oh and some rather nasty practical jokes.
Now Cassandra, Meg, another female friend Cinda, the deaf student's room mate and two male members of staff (one is the security head) are determined to find out what on earth is happening, preferably before the first few months of Cassandra's job turn out to be her LAST few months working!
