The Groves of Academe
Whether you or your children are attending school virtually or in person, everyone involved in the education process has had to modify how they teach, learn, communicate, and socialize. It continues to be a difficult time, but you are all doing your best.
Remember the words of Cory Booker, “Real courage is holding onto a still voice in your head that says,’I must keep going.’ It’s that voice that says nothing is a failure if it is not final. That voice that says to you, ‘Get out of bed. Keep going. I will not quit.'”
We have assembled some novels set in Academia to honor the perseverance of you all! We hope you can take time to relax and enjoy.
Unless indicated, all of the titles are available in print and electronic form. The link is for the eBook. The print version is located in our Adult Fiction section under the author’s last name.

ESPN hailed her as one of the 10 greatest athletes of the 20th century. |
