An incredible book that was influenced by the sorority that America's first famous serial murderer really targeted during his last deadly rampage.
1978 January. The dynamic young ladies at the premier sorority on Florida State University's Tallahassee campus could not be more unaware of the presence of the serial murderer who has frightened women across the Pacific Northwest. It's a night full of excitement, passion, and promise, but Pamela Schumacher, the sorority president, chooses to remain home, which turns out to be the unpopular choice that ends up saving her life. She hears a weird sound around three in the morning and decides to investigate, which may be fatal. Behind the door, she discovers a scene of unbelievable brutality with two of her sisters dead and the other two injured. Pamela is thrown into a horrifying mystery over the course of the following several days, one that is motivated by the crime that has captured the public's attention for more than 40 years.
After years of adversity, Tina Cannon, on the opposite side of the nation, has found serenity in Seattle. Ruth Wachowsky, a 25-year-old lady with her own tragic secrets, enters her life by coincidence and the two hit it off right once. Thousands of beachgoers are there when Ruth disappears in broad daylight from Lake Sammamish State Park on a gorgeous summer day, and Tina dedicates her time to learning what happened to her. She recognizes the guy as the All-American Sex Killer from the headlines when she learns of the tragedy in Tallahassee. She heads to Florida on a collision course with Pamela, determined to hold him accountable for what he did to Ruth, and one last tragic event looms.
Two ladies from different parts of the nation who become sisters in their passionate search for the truth are the subject of the novel Bright Young ladies. It presents a fresh story based on data that has been ignored for decades in favor of more attention-grabbing headlines: the so-called brilliant and charismatic serial killer from Seattle was much more ordinary than the innumerable books, films, and primetime specials have made us think, and the women whose lives he took were the ones who stood out.
