(3) YA Octavia and Talitha think they know all about their unconventional grandmother, Mare. However, a cross-country road trip reveals some surprises. In alternating chapters, Octavia narrates the present and Mare recounts her adventures in the Women's Army Corps during World War II. Mare's story is vivid and absorbing, and Davis's depiction of a lesser-known facet of African American history is enlightening.
