The Truth About Washing Behind Your Ears

Peaches Vaughn is nothing if not in control. Living in the angry city of New York under the roof of her eccentric, millionaire father, she has to be. The CEO's only apparent habit is to constantly change his mind, without preamble. Peaches got used to the sudden transfers, moves, and holidays a long time ago. So when Mr. Vaughn decides to send her to St. Adrian Academy deep in the faraway countryside of Ireland, she finds herself failing to be rattled. But the more time passes at the catholic school, affectionately known to its students as AA, the less controlled she feels. Wild new friends who are everything but what she expected, strange parties, and the beautiful solitude of the Irish hills seem to have a talent for tempting the parts of Peaches she isn't sure she can keep under wraps forever. Memories of her runaway mother become increasingly pressing as she succumbs to her greatest fear -freedom. A depleting relationship with her father, clashes with old friends, and confusion over the vastly irritating, unhealthily delicious Mcallough make for a situation too far out of hand to ever recover from. And the worst part? Peaches isn't even sure she wants to.
