Summary

Hidden deep in the woods of rural Pennsylvania, Catherine House is a college with an experimental curriculum, wildly selective admissions policy, and formidable endowment. It has produced some of the world's best minds: prize-winning authors, artists, inventors, Supreme Court justices, presidents. Tuition, room and board are free, but students are required to give up everything for the three years they attend -- summers included. 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
