Book Description

The college experience can challenge the mind, prepare one for a career and/or, since away from parental supervision, provide an open invitation to frivolity, partying and ribald behavior. That may include the dream or, in most cases, the delusion of finding the love of one's life. Tucker's Angels provides an intimate look into the mindset of one such student, who is quickly seduced by the campus lifestyle. He soon believes he has landed in heaven on Earth: dorm mates with whom to fraternize, coeds just across the quad, three squares a day in the dining hall and a new gymnasium open into the night. Yet Tucker McKay's story is also one of discovery and transformation, until playing basketball may not be the most important thing to be experienced in the Halls of Ivy. His journey is also about the many (earthly) angels in disguise who help lead him toward enlightenment, including an equally competitive coed who ties him in such emotional knots that he once again must rethink his priorities. She turns Tuck's academic awakening into an adventure, flavored with the mysteries of romance, the excitement of first love and the thrill of passion. Whether you wish to learn more about campus life or just to relive the college experience, Tucker's Angels welcomes you along for the ride, through the fun, the challenges, the lessons learned and the formation of lifelong friendships in this rite of passage from naivete into adulthood.
