description: An honest intimate look at the lives of today's teenstold through the true experiences of friends at a New England prep school Established in 1798 Milton Academy has a proud history of achievement. It has educated artists and CEOs; it has produced a long line of distinguished scholars and dignitaries; and it has shepherded students through the world of high-pressure academics for generations. Since its founding the public face of Milton had always been one of integrity and pride . . . until a sex scandal rocked the campus and made headlines in the spring of 2005. The offense? Teenagers doing no more than what others had done before themexcept this time they got caught. Restless Virgins is the riveting real-life story of a group of seniors who were there as the incident (as it came to be called) Whitney the athletic and sensual beauty every girl wants to be; Annie who craves acceptance but is torn between the desire for peer approval and musical success; Jillian the smart one who is sick of high school drama and desperate to go to college; and Reed a hockey god who has it all but whose charisma masks a secret insecurity. From friends with benefits to STDs today's teens face a wider array of social and sexual opportunitiesand pressuresthan ever before. Through its eye-opening yet sensitive depiction of a group of normal kids with normal struggles Restless Virgins offers an important look at contemporary adolescence no teen parent or educator can afford to miss. And it is written by two recent Milton graduates who know this worldand these studentslike no others.
