Desperate to belong, he follows. What happens there--in the name of \"brotherhood,\" and with the supposed goal of forging a scholar and a gentleman from the raw materials of boyhood--involves torturous late-night hazing, heartbreaking estrangement from his brother, and, finally, the death of a fellow pledge. Ultimately, Brad must weigh total alienation from his newfound community against accepting a form of brutality he already knows too well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brad Land\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812969685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812969689\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Trade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.08h x 5.24w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2005 pg. 44","brand":"Brad Land","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075431657727,"sku":"9780812969689","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47360196-6b7d-4e23-91eb-934ae46243b7.jpg?v=1685459383","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/goat-brad-land-9780812969689","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
