Have you ever been at a point in your life where technically there’s nothing wrong, exactly… yet somehow things aren’t quite right? The drumbeat of discontent starts getting imperceptibly louder and louder until one day you just can’t ignore it any longer… That was me, a few years back. My solution? To completely walk out of my life into the unknown…Part of that unknown was a life-changing road trip through Spain in a campervan, on my own.

Ten-year-old Barnaby Button loves maps more than biscuits, but he's never seen one like this. Etched on a piece of glowing, petrified wood, the map has no beginning and no end, just a swirling, magical labyrinth. Aunt Hildegard calls it The Manticore's Maze. Drawn by curiosity, Barnaby steps through the Whispering Hedge-Gate into a world of impossible wonders and tricky puzzles.

What began as an effort for a college professor to get to know her students turned into an invitation to be initiated into a National Panhellenic Conference sorority and serve as its faculty advisor. For the next seven years, Mathews attended sorority and fraternity chapter meetings, Greek Week competitions, leadership retreats, and mixers and formals. Combining her personal observations with ethnographic field analysis and research, this book examines how white Greek letter organizations help reshape the conceptual boundaries of society's most foundational relationship categories.
