Crisp writing by Jan Krause Greene illuminates this contemporary tale which ends with a bright streak that leaves the reader to imagine an unwritten future. Equal parts cautionary and visionary, I Call Myself Earth Girl reveals its story through the life of Gloria. With illusory snapshots into a different era, the author gives a sense of hope for a time guided by a common love of earth and humanity.

Decisive writing sets off this urgent story of environmental contrast, wrapping themes and motivations into a tight and readable (listenable for me - I listened to the audiobook) format. I am reminded of our eco-heroes in real life, made alive through this book.
