Call Me Athena: Girl from Detroit by Colby Cedar Smith
5.0
5/5 Stars
Wow. I was scared going into this because the book is very long. However, the prose and writing is so so pretty. I loved the three stories we got to see, and I loved Mary so much. She struggles with doing what her family wants, and doing what she wants. Also, the fact that this was based on the author's grandmother is amazing. I highly recommend this. I ended up with tears in my eyes at the end.
