Publisher's summary
2014 Eric Hoffer First Horizon Award Winner! 2014 Eric Hoffer e-book fiction Winner! Cadet Jan Wishart has been falsely accused of an honor violation at West Point. She believes her accuser is also a predator, guilty of a much more serious crime. At the honor trial, Jan must defend herself and try to reveal his guilt. Yet, two hundred years of fraternal brotherhood stand in the way.
The worst is yet to come when Jan and her roommate sneak out after Taps one night. Their discovery in an unauthorized area is more likely to get them kicked out—or killed. Jan realizes the grayness of West Point is not only in its buildings and uniforms. Even honor isn’t always black and white. Relying on her wits and a few friends in the hostile environment of the U.S. Military Academy, Jan discovers the value of friendship, the genuine marks of leadership and her own inner warrior.

Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.

She also has a weekly beauty-parlor date to keep her long, nappy hair slick and straight. But the tedious hours and harsh chemicals in the salon have long grated on Venus. One frustrating day, she trades in the long hair for a dramatically short, natural cut and sends her commitment-balking boyfriend packing. It's a bold declaration of independence and one that has effects she never could have imagined.

Story
By his senior year, Steve York has come through the worst two years of his life. His parents have divorced, and his girlfriend has betrayed him. Worse yet, after running away to live with his mother in San Diego, forays into the drug culture have turned his A-average into a thing of the past. Steve's only hope to graduate on time and avoid summer school is to write a 100-page paper for his guidance counselor. Unfortunately, he has to write about something he knows, and all he knows well are the last two years of his life.

Story
Cameron Bates (Cam) could have almost any girl at Franklin High School...except for the one he wants. Unfortunately Bebe seems to be immune to his flirty charm and good looks, which means one of two things: a) she's completely oblivious to how he feels, or b) she's just not into him. If that's the case, declaring his love would be disastrous for their friendship. Bianca Barnes (Bebe) has a huge problem: the universe hates her. Every time she admits feelings for a boy, he ends up falling for her sweet, popular, and beautiful sister Beth.

Story
I just wanted an easy summer job.... That didn’t happen. Now, I’m in a living nightmare as I work alongside this monster of a man with mesmerizing emerald eyes that look at me inappropriately every time I see him. To add insult to injury, he has a tan I just want to lick, and a butt worth drooling over every time he purposefully walks by me. But, he's an asshat, and looks are everything. I mean, aren't. LOOKS. ARE. NOT. EVERYTHING. Why do I have to keep reminding myself of this? This is a story of little restraint, too much desire, questionable actions, and the best sex I've ever had.

Story
To say eighteen-year-old Farrah Higgins—or Digit—is good at math is a laughable understatement. She’s been cracking codes since childhood, and is finally at home with “her people” at MIT in Cambridge. Her talents are so off the charts that her laptop is under surveillance by both the CIA and an ecoterrorist named Jonas Furnis. So when she thoughtlessly hacks into the Department of Defense’s database, she lands in serious hot water inside and outside the law.

Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper is cynical and loyal, and she doesn’t think she’s the prettiest of her friends by a long shot.

exceptional performance
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, audiobooks are all about the performance of the author's text, and in this case, Linda Kimbrough delivers a powerhouse performance of Susan Spieth's book.
Any additional comments?
Ms. Kimbrough is beautifully suited to narrate this story. Her velvety, textured voice is quite subtle, and she shows great facility in moving from character to character. If you are piqued by the topic and description of this story by Susan Spieth, you won't be disappointed by Ms. Kimbrough's vocal rendering of the text.

Great Narration - Interesting Story
Would you consider the audio edition of Gray Girl to be better than the print version?
This audio version of Gray Girl truly brings out the story through Linda Kimbrough's beautiful pacing, vocal timbre, and timing. I can't imagine experiencing the book any other way.
Which character – as performed by Linda Kimbrough – was your favorite?
The main character of Jan as performed by Linda Kimbrough was very interesting to listen to. Her thoughts and dialogue propelled the story effectively and were relatable to listen along with.
Any additional comments?
As a whole, listening to this audiobook was a great experience. I would recommend this story to anyone who is looking for an empowering tale of a girl who fights against all odds.

Awesome!!!! Sad that it's over.
Such an AMAZING and enjoyable read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for a sequel. Linda K. does a superb job at narrating and through her voice I was able to connect with each character in a way that made this story come alive. Great production to all involved! Bravo!

Great starter for the trilogy.
Enjoyed the military aspects of the storyline. I thought more on West Point would be there, but, I guess something has to be saved for the other two in the series. Can't wait to get to the other two books. Reader of this selection kept the book moving. Didn't seem to have any lulls at all.

Powerful book about the West Point experience from a female pov
This book brought back memories I tried hard to forget after almost 30 years. I felt like the author interviewed me and my roommates. Some of the stories happened almost exactly like she wrote. Other times I felt a kinship and somewhat relieved that I was not alone in how I perceived some/most of my experiences during plebe year. Thank you for writing this book. From one OG to another.

Great Listen, unless you went there, but still great
I was a plebe when Susan was a firstie, and was in her company. Was great to hear her tell the tale as someone I knew, but didn’t know yet. The story was great. The reader, didn’t get enough knowledge beforehand. She could have had a little coaching on some wording and pronunciation, but otherwise did a great job. Look forward to the entire series.

Good story, excellent characters, accurate details
I read this with interest because I attended West Point myself just a little after the events depicted. Given that the author is also a graduate, I wasn't surprised that the book was a fun trip down memory lane, but this book is much better than just a rundown of West Point trivia. The story was engaging from the beginning and the ending caught me wonderfully off guard. I think the best part though was the insight into life as female cadet in the early days of women at the Academy. Sure there are some jerks in the story, but the real power is in Spieth's description of inadvertent, systemic sexism. It's a powerful look at life as a minority, and the beauty of it is that it's not trying to be. It is, first and foremost, just a damn good story. I highly recommend it.

Good Story
I got this from audiobook boom. This book was an exposition of what goes on in West Point. It shows that the gray wall extends past the uniform and the gray walls of the buildings. Even when they know that the guy is wrong they protect him. But you don't get into West Point if you don't have the right stuff and Jan proved that ingenuity, courage, common sense, and strategies would make her successful
