Within an hour of arriving at her college campus for freshman year in 1985, Annika’s self-assurance and hopefulness evaporate. She lacks the East Coast sophistication and prep school worldliness which all the other freshmen seem to possess. She quickly realizes her sheltered upbringing and introverted nature challenge her ability to navigate everything from the Greek social structure to problematic professors.
Just as she finds her footing by second semester, she is knocked off balance by a personal trauma. Annika will need to mine her inner strength and rely upon the first true friends of her life to persevere.
As she becomes a young bride, embarks on her career, and struggles with parenthood, Annika is tugged between what she wants for herself, what her mother expects of her, and what society dictates she should be.
The Gen X Girl’s Journal is sprinkled with 80’s and 90’s nostalgia, and the music that accompanies Annika’s life. It is a page-turning coming-of-age tale with unexpected twists, celebrating hopeful perseverance, honoring the inspiration to keep moving forward, and illustrating how the strength and love of genuine friends are essential to emotional survival.
