The Last of Her Kind

In 1968, two young women from vastly different backgrounds become unlikely roommates at Columbia University. Georgette George has grown up in poverty and hopes education will offer her a path to a better life. Ann Drayton, the privileged daughter of a wealthy family, rejects her upbringing and embraces the radical ideals of the era. Despite their differences, the two form an intense friendship that is ultimately shattered by betrayal and violence.

Years later, after Ann is convicted of murdering a New York City police officer, Georgette is drawn back into the memories of their shared past. As she searches for answers, she confronts the turbulent social and political upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s, while uncovering the personal choices, ideals, and tragedies that shaped both of their lives. A thoughtful exploration of friendship, class, idealism, and the consequences of conviction, The Last of Her Kind examines how the past continues to echo through the lives of those who survive it.
