Synopsis
Harvard University can be a menacing place. Academic pressure is intense. Racial and sexual politics create a minefield. Toni Isaacs, a gutsy young Harvard student who reports for the campus paper, can handle that - usually. This smart black woman works hard, knows how to dress, and won't back down in a fight. Covering a story for the Harvard Crimson, Toni receives a tip: Harvard students - both men and women - are working as prostitutes. Determined to make her mark, Toni finds herself drawn into Boston's sexual underworld, where she encounters strippers, johns, escorts, vice cops, a stash of student sex diaries, and an MBA candidate with a very unusual business plan.
Toni's investigation ineluctably draws in some of her closest friends, who find their own worlds spinning out of control. This Mod Squad for the nineties stumbles across a scheme that jeopardizes much more than their academic futures and will have readers of this compulsive page-turner wondering just who the real prostitutes at Harvard are.

Inspired by a prostitution scandal that unfolded at Brown University in 1986, Jane Harvard began collaborating on The Student Body six years ago to help pay off student loans.
Faith Adiele serves as the Christa McAuliffe Chair/Visiting Professor in English at Framingham State College. A former fellow at the MacDowell Colony and Ragdale Foundation, she has published in Ploughshares, Ms., and anthologies from Norton, Beacon, Doubleday, and Routledge presses. Adiele lives in Somerville, Massachusetts, where she is at work on a memoir about growing up Nigerian/Scandinavian in Washington State.
