Moral Compass is a highly timely and provocative story from the world's beloved storyteller, Danielle Steel. The Saint Ambrose Prep school has been the choice for the sons of prominent families for over a hundred years. For the first time, Saint Ambrose has just enrolled its first female students.

While many of the children on campus enjoy all the privileges, some struggle with family issues, insecurity, and loneliness. In such a prepared environment, even the smallest spark can become a blazing fire. The day after a Halloween party, a female student is found in the hospital, seriously injured and with a dangerous level of alcohol in her blood. Only a handful of students were present when she was attacked – they know what happened and have sealed their lips. As parents, students, staff, and media try to uncover the truth, no one at Saint Ambrose will escape the consequences.

As the dramatic story unfolds, those involved will reach a crossroads where they will need to choose between truth and lies, between the easy and the right, ultimately relying on their own moral compass.
