Over the years, I’ve shared reviews of many wonderful books on this blog and today I’m thrilled to share news of my own – my debut novel, A Future of Her Own, is now available. If you’re interested in historical fiction, the 1960s, coming-of-age stories, first love, student activism, stories set in the Pacific Northwest, you can see more here: https://a.co/d/8SQ3Pj7

As fall term begins, Ramona is reassigned to the night shift waitressing at Dusty’s Drive-In, which closes after the female-only campus curfew. Panicked because she needs her job to pay tuition, Ramona petitions to appeal the curfew on the advice of her friend Dimitri. When rejected by the dean, citing “safety concerns” for female students, Ramona turns to Dimitri’s older brother, Theo, a leader in the campus anti-war movement, for help.

Exposure to the world of activism through new friends, who become family, reveals that the curfew is one of countless unfair expectations of women on campus—and Ramona’s petition is only the beginning. She soon learns that the line between right and wrong isn’t always clear and must decide how far she’ll go to break down an unfair system.
