The Series
Series
From the boroughs of New York, to the beaches of San Francisco, girls hail from all walks of life, to sport the violet blazer and pink beret of the Galstanberry Girls Academy.
Galstanberry Girls (GG) Academy, an exclusive private boarding school in Connecticut, is flanked by a magnificent rose garden and horse stables. It rises up from the horizon like a French château with interconnected balustrades and high-spiraling turrets that seemed to touch the clouds.
The first book in the series, The Girlz of Galstanberry, introduces readers to Mr. Charles Jefferson Galstanberry, an earnest gentleman who believed a male to be the only proper heir to his vast family fortune--a belief embraced by many in 1937. However, when devastation befalls, he is challenged to re-evaluate his beliefs and create a course that would change his life, others, forever.
Decades later, Galstanberry has become the envy of girls around the world. And in one transformative year, five dynamic girls from different cities, socio-economic backgrounds and ethnicities receive the coveted Galstanberry acceptance letter. On one unforgettable day-- Sunday, August 29--these five girls leave lasting impressions on family and friends before departing for Connecticut to attend Galstanberry's Orientation on Monday.
