From award-winning author Natasha Friend comes a compelling investigation of sexual harassment and the toxic and complicit structures of a small college town.

Before the night of the Frat Fair, 15-year-old NoraMelchionda’slifecould have been aGen-Z John Hughes movie. She hada kind-of boyfriend, a spot on the field hockey team, good grades, and acircle of close friends.Of coursethere were bumpsin the road: she and her lifelong BFF Cam were growing apart andhermother was trying to clone her into wearing sensible khakis instead ofshowy shortskirts.But none of that mattered, because Nora always had her dad, Rhett Melchionda, on her side. Rhett was not only Noras hero, but as the Athletic Director of Faber College, he was idolized by everyone she knew.

Now, Nora would give anything to go back to that life. The life before whatever happened on the golf course.

She doesnt want to talk about itnot that she could, because she doesnt rememberanythingand insists that whatever happened was nothing. Cam, though, tries to convinceNorato look for evidence and report the incident to the police.And thentheres Adam Xu, who found Nora on the golf course and saw her at her most vulnerable. Sheignores it all, hopingit will all go away. But when your silence might hurt other people, hiding is no longer an option.

The Wolves Are Waitingbegins in the aftermath of an attempted assault,butreaches farther than a story about onesingle night or one single incident.What Nora and her friends will uncover is a story that spansgenerations. But it doesnt have to anymore.
