When Kathryn Allen Rabuzzi received the acceptance letter from Harvard University's prestigious Radcliffe College, she was sure it had to be some mistake. Why would one of the most famous and venerated women's colleges in the country want her?
Rabuzzi can't help but be intimidated by her new home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her roommate is a genius even by Harvard standards, and her eccentric classmates come from a variety of different backgrounds and perspectives. Rabuzzi isn't sure she fits in.
She doesn't. She stands out.
In her new memoir, Rabuzzi recounts her two glorious years at Radcliffe College and the highs and lows that accompanied them. She has her heart broken, makes true friends, attends life-changing lectures, and explores everything university life has to offer.
As Rabuzzi remembers her coming-of-age, she also introduces another major character in her life-her husband. It is during these important years that Rabuzzi meets the love of her life. She invites you on their unconventional first date and the many magical days they share afterward. Their adventures include a wild summer in Nantucket, a very awkward engagement party, and the moment when they decide to spend the rest of their lives together!
