A fiercely independent and intelligent young woman navigating a turbulent personal and societal landscape in the 1960s. Set during one of the pivotal decades in American history, A Girl With A Bad Reputation delves into the coming-of-age journey of Colleen in Newburgh, New York.
Living in a city grappling with racial tensions, social upheaval, and economic change, Colleen is caught between her personal desires and the weight of her growing reputation. As she navigates her complex relationships with family and friends, she finds herself increasingly aware of the racial segregation in their community and her father’s influence as a successful and ruthless attorney. Amidst this turmoil, Colleen begins to question her place in the world, drawing parallels between her own struggles for independence and the broader civil rights movement.
