Check out the following description provided by the publisher.<\/p>\n<p><em>Catherine House is a school of higher learning like no other. Hidden deep in the woods of rural Pennsylvania, this crucible of reformist liberal arts study with its experimental curriculum, wildly selective admissions policy, and formidable endowment, has produced some of the world&#8217;s best minds: prize-winning authors, artists, inventors, Supreme Court justices, presidents. For those lucky few selected, tuition, room, and board are free. But acceptance comes with a price. Students are required to give the House three years&#8211;summers included&#8211;completely removed from the outside world. Family, friends, television, music, even their clothing must be left behind. In return, the school promises a future of sublime power and prestige, and that its graduates can become anything or anyone they desire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This book is also available in the following formats:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/rivershare.polarislibrary.com\/search\/title.aspx?ctx=14.1033.0.0.1&amp;pos=1&amp;cn=1339595\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OverDrive eBook<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/rivershare.polarislibrary.com\/search\/title.aspx?ctx=14.1033.0.0.1&amp;pos=1&amp;cn=1339611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OverDrive eAudiobook<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/davenportlibrary.libcal.com\/event\/6906951\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Virtual Book Club<\/a><br \/>\nWed, Oct 14, 2020 2:00 PM &#8211; 3:00 PM (CDT)<\/p>\n<p>Please join my meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/global.gotomeeting.com\/join\/215406549\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/global.gotomeeting.com\/join\/215406549<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also dial in using your phone.<br \/>\nUnited States: +1 (224) 501-3412<\/p>\n<p>Access Code: 215-406-549<\/p>\n<p>New to GoToMeeting?
