Twenty-five years before #metoo, this was a very big #metoo issue.

It had all the elements familiar today. Believe all women. Give sexual harassment claims full attention and audience. Deal with sexual harassment claims as quickly as possible. Hold a hearing behind closed doors to protect the victims so making allegations is at no cost, free, secretive, and provide no appeal, even though challenging such issues by someone falsely accused must take place in open court, expensive and public.

Four female journalism students, dressed in the purest white, shoulders to socks, looking like flower girls prepared for a wedding, presented to a college sexual harassment committee. Their eye-witness sat with them, concerned and vocal. Who would have ever suspected?

A true college memoir, Pushing Over the Apple Cart, a trilogy, is the story of a sensational college sex scandal, well-covered by media at the time. The court case that followed resulted in a historic, and unexpected, decision.

The story in Book 1 begins with Joy, brilliant, former international model, president of the student body, ousted from the same college in disgrace, in a hearing grotequely unfair. There was a hint of a college secret then being protected. It's existence was over our heads, we didn't recognize hints and clues provided at the time.

We were a long time understanding there was a secret and the secret was everything. To protect the secret the college would fight with everything it had.

"This is their apple cart you're about to push over. They won't let you do it," Mouse said. Mouse was right.

Five females, one male, one courtroom, one college, one secret. All true.
