Praise for A Future of Her Own

“An engaging female protagonist confronts social issues that are unfortunately still relevant.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Ramona Bronson knows the odds are stacked against her as she steps onto campus in 1965—a young woman trying to juggle university life, a waitressing job, and the suffocating curfews of her era. In A Future of Her Own, Samantha Quamma spins a captivating tale of determination, self-discovery, and quiet rebellion. Against a backdrop of social change and activism, Ramona must navigate the rigid rules of her time, challenging expectations while forging her path toward independence. This inspiring story celebrates resilience, ambition, and the fight for a future no one else can define.” —Kathryn Dare,  Seattle Book Review

“Ramona steps into college life bright-eyed and hopeful, but she soon discovers the outrageous restrictions of the 1960s’ society and collegiate life limit women like her, and she decides to fight back.” —Kerry Chaput, award-winning author of The Defying Crown Series

"Ramona is a timeless heroine who gathers her courage and develops her voice at a time when her community—and society—need it most. A tender story of bravery, resilience, and perseverance, A Future of Her Own reminds us that enacting change and fighting for gender equality is as important—and difficult—today as it was on a 1960's college campus." —Erin Strout, journalist and coauthor of The Price She Pays: Confronting the Hidden Mental Health Crisis in Women's Sports
