Description
Virgin Soul is a semi-autobiographical novel about a young woman's struggle for identity and purpose during a tumultuous period in American history. Written in first-person, it follows Geniece Hightower as she navigates her college years at Oakland City College in 1964.
The story unfolds over four sections: Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. As Geniece pursues her education, she receives a unique kind of education - one that incorporates the sounds, lingo, protests, and activism of the time. She becomes involved with activists and intellectuals, and her own activism is sparked.
Through her experiences as a reporter for the school newspaper, Geniece narrates her story with a trained journalist's ear for dialogue and gritty details. The result is a brave new world that she describes as "Dissidents" - a place where nonconformists like herself find their voice.
