Anita de Monte, a rising star in the art world, is found dead in New York City; her tragic death is the talk of the town. Until it isn't. By 1998 Anita's name has been all but forgotten--certainly by the time Raquel, a third-year art history student is preparing her final thesis. On College Hill, surrounded by privileged students whose futures are already paved out for them, Raquel feels like an outsider. Students of color, like her, are the minority there, and the pressure to work twice as hard for the same opportunities is no secret.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eBut when Raquel becomes romantically involved with a well-connected older art student, she finds herself unexpectedly rising up the social ranks.
