Summary
"Seventeen-year-old Natalie Waite longs to escape home for college. Her father is a domineering and egotistical writer who keeps a tight rein on Natalie and her long-suffering mother. When Natalie finally does get away, however, college life doesn't bring the happiness she expected. She becomes infatuated with a married professor and feels lost and overwhelmed. Little by little, Natalie is no longer certain of anything -- even where reality ends and her dark imaginings begin. Chilling and suspenseful, <i>Hangsaman</i> is loosely based on the real-life disappearance of a Bennington College sophomore in 1946." --Back cover
