Description
What We Call Love speaks to minority, inner-city youth who grapple with navigating relationships while discovering their passions and dreams.
This multiple point-of-view book focuses on five teenagers of color from the city of Chicago; following the individual journeys of each as they traverse relationships with their families, with each other, and with themselves. The author's original poetry and song titles exemplify the experiences in each chapter.
These are magical stories of love, acceptance, friendship, and the realities that come with being a minority youth. Simply put, What We Call Love is a story that stresses that everyone, no matter who they are, just wants love. Readers will connect with Mariposa, Serenity, Jayden, Elijah, and Raymond as they discover how to accept themselves. If you want to feel the butterflies of young adult love, this one is for you.
Jaime Martin Ko Atilano, author of Mala & the Mask of Gold, and a first-gen immigrant, calls it "compelling and a magnificent coming-of-age story...so desperately needed in our community. A beautiful story and a must-read."
