Rebecca Hanover is here this week to discuss The Last Applicant, an emotional thrill ride about two women whose lives take a dangerous turn in the high-stakes arena of private school admissions.
True Crime Tuesday presents The Applicant: Crimes of Privilege and Passion with Author, Rebecca Hanover! Audrey Singer revels in her position as the admissions director of an exclusive Manhattan private school. Parents cater to her whims and desires, desperate to give their children an edge. Audrey's power is undeniable; privilege comes with the territory. Her perfect marriage completes the glossy picture of her life. Until the arrival of the neurotic, vulnerable Sarah Price. Determined to get her son into the city's most coveted kindergarten class, Sarah inserts herself into Audrey's world, testing boundaries at every turn. For Sarah, everything Audrey has is a potential target: her job, her friends…even her marriage. But what seems to be another ploy by an overachieving mother takes a dark and ominous turn. Sarah seems to be hiding secrets of her own. Are her designs on Audrey's life purely about getting what she wants for her son? Rebecca Hanover joins TCT to talk about "The Applicant", her writing process, what it is like to win an Emmy, and what the people in your life think of you when the characters in your book do some disturbing things!
