SYNOPSIS

It’s 1938, and Ann Brooks has big dreams of her new life as a Seattle College coed. She’s left the old-fashioned ways of her small country town behind to pursue higher education and a teaching career.

But not everyone is ready for change.

Society still preaches that a woman’s place is in the home. Some refuse to see Ann as an equal deserving of an education — let alone a career — and Ann's friends think school is simply a springboard to pursue a marriage of wealth and convenience.

When Ann meets Paul, an aspiring journalist with strong ideas of his own, she learns an unexpected lesson in courage and discovers what it really means to live her dreams.

Will Ann give up everything she thought she wanted for love? Or can she have it all?

What People are Saying

Ann has captured my heart. From her love of Amelia Earhart to the way she handled herself in trying not to let someone else's thoughtless decisions affect her courage and self worth, to her decision to pursue her degree/career in a time when that wasn't done by married women, I found a friend. -Aryn, Amazon Review

This book reminds the reader of the challenges of equality for woman in earlier years through the life and times of a young coed. College life, romance and personal conflict combine to form a delightful and relational read. This book educates the reader of the place of women in society so long ago, and one woman's brave response to it. Ms. Klinge adds a special charm to the book with well-described historical landmarks. -Theresa, Amazon Review
