Trust doesn't come easily to Tony Davenport. Shy, quiet, and deeply ashamed of a past without a family, he seeks refuge and anonymity in the United States Air Force. Assigned to Alaska, he is on top of the world, professionally and personally. But a silent killer, a brain tumor named Damocles, is about to strike and when it does, he loses everything he loves, his ability to do his job. Then, one fateful afternoon, he is transferred to Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. No one at Tinker knows about him and he vows to keep it that way until the tumor takes his life. Everything goes according to plan until he meets Athena Hunter. A beautiful young NCO, she rekindles the desire to live in him. Through an excruciatingly painful transcontinental flight, dangerous surgery, and the strict judicial system of the U.S. Air Force, Athena and Tony develop a connection that will become the stuff of legend. Years later, Athena's sudden death comes as a crushing blow to him. Deeply depressed, Tony's family look for a way to help him recover. When his daughter, Lina, asks him about how he met her mother, Tony revisits old and forgotten memories. Join Lina as she is enveloped in the magic that was her parent's love, commitment, and sacrifice, and enjoy author Robert F. Duwel's touching love story. A private pilot, an Air Force avionics technician, a husband, a father, and now author, My Beloved Athena is Robert F. Duwel's first venture into the literary world. The story blends together his love and passion of family, flying, and the Air Force into a great story.

This enchanting novel in verse captures one young woman’s struggle for independence, equality, and identity as the daughter of Greek and French immigrants in tumultuous 1930s Detroit. Call Me Athena: Girl from Detroit is a beautifully written novel in verse loosely based on author Colby Cedar Smith’s paternal grandmother. The story follows Mary as the American-born daughter of Greek and French immigrants living in Detroit in the 1930s, creating a historically accurate portrayal of life as an immigrant during the Great Depression, hunger strikes, and violent riots. Mary lives in a tiny apartment with her immigrant parents, her brothers, and her twin sister, and she questions why her parents ever came to America. She yearns for true love, to own her own business, and to be an independent, modern American woman—much to the chagrin of her parents, who want her to be a “good Greek girl.” Mary’s story is peppered with flashbacks to her parents’ childhoods in Greece and northern France; their stories connect with Mary as they address issues of arranged marriage, learning about independence, and yearning to grow beyond one’s own culture. Though Call Me Athena is written from the perspective of three profoundly different narrators, it has a wide-reaching message: It takes courage to fight for tradition and heritage, as well as freedom, love, and equality.

A spunky, feminist take on the myth of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and courage From the moment she sprung from Zeus’s head, Athena was extraordinary. Even though some doubted her as a young goddess, Athena never backed down from a fight. Poseidon wants to be the patron god of a nearby city? Well, so does Athena! And she’s going to outwit him and found Athens. Perseus doesn’t know how to defeat Medusa? No problem! Athena can give him the knowledge (and shield) he needs to take off her head. Odysseus is lost at sea, seemingly doomed? Not anymore! Athena can get him home. Follow the goddess of wisdom through her adventures with gods and mortals, discover the perils of crossing her, and see how she eventually learned to better understand and aid the human race.
