Editorial Reviews
From the Author
A coming of age story for everyone to experience!!!
“First Class” is a true story that reads like fiction. Real names have been changed to protect individual privacy, innocence, or guilt. It is the story of the first women to break the 131-year all-male tradition of the United States Naval Academy and the challenges they faced.

I wrote this book to document history. The events depicted took place over twenty years ago. If the issues seem too fresh or the events appear too similar to modern-day occurrences, then it is time to stop repeating them.
