2.3. She Reads YA Historical Romance: The Davenports by Krystal Marquis

She remembered her mother’s words: to always rise above. Because her family was rare. Wealthy. Beautiful. Black.

–The Davenports by Krystal Marquis

The Davenports by Krystal Marquis is a charming YA romance following four women in the early 1900s Chicago: Olivia, the eldest Davenport daughter; Helena, the youngest Davenport daughter; Ruby, Olivia’s best friend; and Amy-Rose–the maid. All four of these women have dreams, ambitions, and a swoony love story unfolding in this historical fiction novel.
