The New Cadet is a coming of age story about eighteen year old
Alicia Randall, who enters The College of Armed Forces, CAF, as the
second class of women. During her first year, she is faced with the
rigorous challenges of the Tick Line and attempts to juggle her
life within the college while staying connected to her old life.
When her life outside the school shatters, Alicia begins walking
the plank between falling apart and surviving.
What ends up saving Alicia is a new found relationship with a
woman, Cathleen, who introduces a variety of books, which expands
Alicia's awareness and puts her on a new path of self discovery and
spiritual awareness.
The trials and tribulations from the school extend beyond the
Tick Line when Alicia is accused of participating in behavior that
is "unbecoming of an officer," and it takes every last ounce of
strength to survive the school she had promised her brother she
would never leave.
In using the new concepts Cathleen taught her, it is those ideas
that consequently give Alicia the tools for fighting a system and
keeping her at a school she conflictingly loves.
