Description
"When Charlie Boykin was young, he thought his life with his single mother on the working-class side of Nashville was perfectly fine. But after his mother arranges for him to be admitted as a scholarship student to an elite private school, he is suddenly introduced to what the world can feel like to someone cushioned by money. That world, he discovers, is an almost irresistible place where once can bend the rules-and break them-and still end up untarnished ... The Fortunate Ones is an immersive, elegantly written story and compulsive read that conveys both the seductiveness of this world and the corruption of the people who see their ascent to the top as their birthright"--,Back cover.
