"Buy this book! Read it, then buy it for young women, and for young Black women especially. While its message will be most powerful for young women like Ky, it is also for any woman who needs to be reminded about how to be resilient in the face of all that women go through. It is a wonderful celebration, and a defiant shout." -- Shona Reads blog, "Buy this book! Read it, then buy it for young women, and for young Black women especially.
