Rush A novel

Lisa Patton

eAudio - 2018

When Lilith Whitmore, the well-heeled House Corp President of Alpha Delta Beta, appoints recent empty nester Wilda to the Rush Advisory Board, Wilda can hardly believe her luck. What's more, Lilith suggests their daughters, both incoming freshman, room together. What Wilda doesn't know is that it's all part of Lilith's plan to ensure her own daughter receives an Alpha Delt bid-no matter what. Cali Watkins possesses all the qualities sororities are looking for in a potential new member. She's kind and intelligent, makes friends easily, even plans to someday run for governor. But her resume lacks a vital ingredient. Pedigree. Without family money Cali's chances of sorority membership are already thin, but she has... an even bigger problem. If anyone discovers the dark family secrets she's hiding, she'll be dropped from Rush in an instant. For twenty-five years, Miss Pearl has been housekeeper and a second mother to the Alpha Delt girls, even though it reminds her of a painful part of her past she'll never forget. When an opportunity for promotion arises, it seems a natural fit. But Lilith Whitmore slams her Prada heel down fast, crushing Miss Pearl's hopes of a better future. When Wilda and the girls find out, they devise a plan destined to change Alpha Delta Beta-and maybe the entire Greek system-forever.

Review by Library Journal Review

At the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), Miss Pearl has been the Alpha Delta Beta housekeeper for 25 years and is like a second mother and unofficial therapist to all 430 sorority sisters. The Alpha Delt House is gearing up for another year of rush and with Lilith Whitmore, a former sorority sister and the new house corp president at the helm, everyone is a little tense. Another alum and former Alpha Delt, Wilda Woodcock, is called on by Lilith to fill her open spot on the rush advisor board. Plus, Lilith's and Wilda's daughters, Annie Laurie and Ellie, will both be attending Ole Miss as freshmen, sharing a dorm room and rushing sororities together. Then there's Cali -Watkins, also an incoming freshman, who's desperate to become a sorority sister but missing a potentially crucial requirement: pedigree. VERDICT Patton's (Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'easter) glimpse into Southern sorority life is far more about relationships among women and their support for one another. With a rich story line full of heart, it expertly tackles current social issues.
