Determined to have the education, and by extension the freedom, that her single mother never had, first-generation college student Ramona Bronson must balance the demands of college life with funding her tuition.

As the fall term of 1965 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 inequities toward women on campus. Ramona’s petition is only the beginning. Ramona will have to decide whether she’s willing to risk the future she prizes to break down an unfair system.

A Future of Her Own will inspire the righteous, rebellious spirit in us all.

Review for A Future Of Her Own

This is the way to debut – congratulations! I loved that the main character was entering college in 1965 – making her the same age as my mom. With dreams of being a college graduate, Ramona must work to pay tuition. The only problem is that she gets off work after the female-only curfew. Ya, my rebellious self wouldn’t handle that well either. Never fear, it’s the era of protest – the Vietnam War, politics, free speech, idealism, make love not war… and Ramona is up for the challenge. You go, girl! This story was an eye-opening experience of life before the road was paved for my generation. I admire the grit and growth of Ramona as well as both sides of the protesting coin. My experience with historical fiction has been limited to WWII, so it was interesting to get a glimpse of life in the 60’s.
