In an Ohio college, she forms enduring friendships that provide both sustenance and education: Ella, an independent and empathetic spirit navigating a racially challenged environment; Sammy, a sophisticated rebel who briefly mentors Geneva; and Annie, who introduces Geneva to the excitement and complexities of New York. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGeneva tentatively adopts the grand city, seeking work and love. After months of unhappy struggle and loneliness, she secures a position in a prestigious research foundation and, taking a chance on a brief encounter in a museum, gets involved with and marries Cullen, her first true love. However, continuing to grapple with reshaping her identity, she eventually leaves the Chatham Foundation and Cullen, too, behind. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMuch like Geneva, we all must part with our childhood innocence and embark on a quest to find our place within the universe, one that will fill the void left by the magic circle of meaning we've left behind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jo Ann Kiser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798891320727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atmosphere Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Booklife Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/22\/2024","brand":"Jo Ann Kiser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45479080919295,"sku":"9798891320727","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f400c8cb-afe9-4e1f-b21c-da03358e159c.jpg?v=1715936225","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-young-woman-from-the-jo-ann-kiser-9798891320727","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
