An enchanting novel in verse, Call Me Athena captures one young womans struggle for independence, equality, and identity as the daughter of Greek and French immigrants in tumultuous 1930s Detroit.Mary lives in a tiny apartment in Detroit in the 1930s with her Greek and French immigrant parents, her brothers, and her twin sister, and she questions why her parents ever came to America. She yearns for true love, to own her own business, and to be an independent, modern American womanmuch to the chagrin of her parents, who want her to be a good Greek girl.Marys story is peppered with flashbacks to her parents childhoods in Greece and northern France; their stories connect with Mary as they address issues of arranged marriage, learning about independence, and yearning to grow beyond ones own culture. Though Call Me Athena is written from the perspective of three profoundly different narrators, it has a widereaching message: It takes courage to fight for tradition and heritage, as well as freedom, love, and equality.Call Me Athena: Girl from Detroit is a beautifully written novel in verse loosely based on author Colby Cedar Smiths paternal grandmother, creating a historically accurate portrayal of life as an immigrant during the Great Depression, hunger strikes, and violent riots.
