The Chosen One was trained from birth to become the tribe's champion, and, in the future, their elder. As the child of the village elder, the Chosen One is a member of the third generation of former Vault 13 dwellers living outside the Vault, similar to how their grandparent was the third generation to live in a Vault. The Chosen One is an unforgettable coming-of-age story that bravely unpacks the double-edged college transition-as both catalyst for old wounds and a fresh start.The bloodline of the wasteland's most influential tribemember, extends all the way back to the Vault Dweller and their spouse, Pat. In 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’s campus. But it might be a portal to different dimensions of time and space-only accessible if Echo accepts her calling as a Chosen One and takes charge of her future by healing her past. This remarkable challenge demands vulnerability, humility, and the conviction to ask for help without sacrificing self-worth. Nor is it a paradise of ideas, an incubator of inclusivity, or even an exciting dating scene. The campus is not a rainbow-colored utopia where education lifts every voice. Dartmouth made many promises it couldn’t keep. Despite graduating high school in Cleveland as valedictorian, Echo immediately struggles to keep up in demanding classes. There are many watchers and they are always white. That’s the first thing Echo notices as she settles into Dartmouth College.
