She soon finds the intensity she is looking for among the insular, Webster-worshipping members of the school's cultic chapel choir: presided over by the charismatic, neurotic, overachiever Virginia Strauss, who is as fanatical about her newfound Christian faith as she is about the miles she runs every morning before dawn."--cProvided by publisher. 0aChoral societiesvFiction. 0aChoral musicvFiction. 0aBoarding schoolszMainevFiction. 0aControl (Psychology)vFiction. 7aBildungsromans.2lcgft 7aPsychological fiction.2lcgft 7aThrillers (Fiction)2lcgft
