My Latest Grievance

My Latest Grievance stars the beguiling teenager Frederica Hatch, the Eloise of Dewing College.

Born and raised in the dormitory of this small women's college and chafing under the care of the most annoyingly evenhanded parental team in the history of civilization, Frederica is starting to feel that her life is stiflingly snug.

That all changes with the arrival on campus of a new dorm mother, the glamorous Laura Lee French, the frenetic center of her own universe.
