Pearl, a longshoreman's widow turned college freshman, enrolls in a tough class taught by an arrogant professor.
To get in with Prof. Pynchon, zealous Pearl becomes his teaching assistant. Bad idea. Running his errands turns her into a ""pack mule with a pager""--and she forgets her son's birthday.
To compensate for cheating on a philosophy test, Pearl persuades Prof. Pynchon to give her an oral makeup exam, which evolves into a freewheeling battle of wits.
Pearl's longtime friendship with Annie is tested.
Dates for the grand homecoming ball hinge on a lost wager, an attempted bribe, second thoughts and, yes, fate.
