An instant New York Times bestseller! “Grown exposes the underbelly of a tough conversation, providing a searing examination of misogynoir, rape culture, and the vulnerability of young black girls.

Award-winning author Tiffany D. Jackson delivers another riveting, ripped-from-the-headlines mystery that exposes horrific secrets hiding behind the limelight and embraces the power of a young woman’s voice.

When legendary R&B artist Korey Fields spots Enchanted Jones at an audition, her dreams of being a famous singer take flight. Until Enchanted wakes up with blood on her hands and zero memory of the previous night. Who killed Korey Fields?

Before there was a dead body, Enchanted’s dreams had turned into a nightmare. Because behind Korey’s charm and star power was a controlling dark side. Now he’s dead, the police are at the door, and all signs point to Enchanted.

“Never have I read a story that so flawlessly hits the highest high and lowest low notes of Black girlhood in pursuit of the American Dream.” —Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin and Jackpot

No baby!!

This book was really good, but also frustrating. frustrating because, as a mother, I just kept wanting to tell Enchanted: no, baby, don't do that!! I'll definitely be checking out this author's other titles.

Overall okay

I'm not a fan of flashbacks but I understand what the author was trying to accomplish. And I'm assuming her mentioning it wasn't based on Rkelly for legal purposes because the storyline is parallel to his case and the accusations against him.

Believe Black Women!

I was pulled into this story from the first chapter and while I screamed at Chant quite a bit for her choices, I walk away with a clear understanding - no one believes victims of sexual assault. This is especially true when celebrity is involved.

Tiffany D. Jackson has another hit! If you haven't read it, READ IT! You won't be sorry.

Amazing!!

This was a beautiful story told. I was crying at the end of it. Definitely a must read!

A must read!!
