  1. 1. The Red Word

    A college freshman is torn between the intoxicating camaraderie of a hard-partying fraternity and the radical convictions of her feminist housemates. When allegations of sexual assault erupt, she is pulled into a high-stakes campaign that fuses theory with activism, desire with danger, and loyalty with betrayal, culminating in a reckless plan and its devastating aftermath that forces her to reckon with complicity, power, and the messy truths of consent.
