Moral Adjacent (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798224512652)

Doing the right thing feels good. It feels even better when you can put it on your college application. Esme has been designing her life with this in mind since elementary school, so when an opportunity presents itself during her junior year that may be the ultimate combination of doing good and looking good, she is eager to cross the streams. While working on a story for her school newspaper about the luxuries of working at the newest resort hotel in town, one of the housekeepers reaches out to inform her that she and some of her co-workers are victims of a human trafficking operation. Esme agrees to help, but allows the college application version of herself to guide reality, and risks the acceptance she enjoys from her dearest friends for the acceptance she craves from her dream universities.
