Despite graduating high school in Cleveland as valedictorian, Echo immediately struggles to keep up in demanding classes. Dartmouth made many promises it couldn't keep. The campus is not a rainbow-colored utopia where education lifts every voice. Nor is it a paradise of ideas, an incubator of inclusivity, or even an exciting dating scene. But it might be a portal to different dimensions of time and space\u2014only accessible if Echo accepts her calling as a Chosen One and takes charge of her future by healing her past.&nbsp;This remarkable challenge demands vulnerability, humility, and the conviction to ask for help without sacrificing self-worth.<br \/>\nIn mesmerizing personal narrative and magical realism, Echo Brown confronts mental illness, grief, racism, love, friendship, ambition, self-worth, and belonging as they steer the fates of first-generation college students on Dartmouth\u2019s campus.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2022-01-05T11:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Wednesday and welcome to my stop on the blog tour for THE CHOSEN ONE by Echo Brown!
