Creating a Compelling College Application

We are offering this Zoom presentation to help high school juniors and their parents understand how to use the summer productively to create a compelling college application.

Former Scarsdale resident and middle school teacher Julie Gerstenblatt will join us for a book launch party! Set against Nantucket’s Great Fire of 1846, this sweeping, emotional novel brings together three courageous women battling to save everything they hold dear. In a starred review, Booklist calls Daughters of Nantucket “a beautiful historical novel….Gerstenblatt’s distinctive tale, a triumph in storytelling, celebrates the courage and tenacity of women.”
