A timely and powerful tale about a teen girl from a poor community striving for success, from acclaimed author Renee Watson. Jade feels she must escape her community if she’s ever likely to succeed. Her mother says she’s to consider every opportunity. She has. She recognized a scholarship to a mostly-white private school as well as Saturday morning test prep opportunities. However, many opportunities feel even more demeaning than helpful. Like an invitation to become listed on Women to Females, a mentorship program for ‘at-risk’ young ladies. Except really, it’s for dark young ladies. From ‘poor’ neighborhoods. But Jade doesn’t need support. And just because her coach is dark doesn’t suggest she understands Jade. And perhaps there are some factors Jade could display these successful ladies about the real world and finding ways to make a genuine difference. Friendships, race, privilege, identity-this persuasive and thoughtful story explores the problems young women encounter.
