A Grown Up Kind of Pretty

A Grown Up Kind of Pretty is a powerful saga of three generations of women, plagued by hardships and torn by a devastating secret, yet inextricably joined by the bonds of family.

Fifteen-year-old Mosey Slocumb -- spirited, sassy, and on the cusp of womanhood -- is shaken when a small grave is unearthed in the backyard, and determined to figure out why it's there. Liza, her stroke-ravaged mother, is haunted by choices she made as a teenager. But it is Jenny, Mosey's strong and big-hearted grandmother, whose maternal love braids together the strands of the women's shared past -- and who will stop at nothing to defend their future.

Excellent! Gripping and down to earth story of three generations of Southern women- a 15 year old girl, her 30 year old mother, and her 45 year old grandmother, the first two having been teen moms, the youngest a plucky achiever who, along with her fellow misfit friend Roger, try to uncover family deceptions and secrets. Wonderful plot twists!
