Diane Kruger shares a memoir of her childhood. She feels awkward and doesn't like her name because it is unusual in the small German town where she lives. Then her mom shares with her a description of the goddess Diane which inspires her to seek out her own powers. Diane became a ballerina and then an actress. When she has her own daughter she chooses a name full of meaning, Nova Tennessee.
Christa Unzner creates charming illustrations for Diane's memories. They are touched with whimsy showing that there is magic even in real memories. Diane shows that the support of her mother is what allowed her to achieve her dreams. It is a touching tribute to love. A German girl who travels the world
