"Grown exposes the underbelly of a tough conversation, providing a searing examination of misogynoir, rape culture, and the vulnerability of young black girls. Groundbreaking, heart-wrenching, and essential reading for all in the #MeToo era." (Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times best-selling author of The Belles)

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 best-selling author of Dear Martin and Jackpot)

A Must!!

If you have a teenager this book is a must read! It sheds light on just how easily our kids can be groomed by predators and turned in the wrong direction. There are some triggering situations in the book but if you can push through it you will not regret it. Thus is my first book from this author and I'm looking forward to the next!!

Good Listen

Interesting story, well put together and not easily predictable. Definitely held my interest. I listening while working from home.

Disturbing but well done

I can't say I enjoyed this book because enjoyed seems like the wrong word. This book is a well written fictional account of something that goes on much too often in our society. Men, especially those in power,, are allowed to get away with almost anything.

We all know about R. Kelley, Harvey Wienstein, Roger Ailes, Jeffery Epstein and yes even Donald Trump and how they all used their power to abuse and manipulate women and underage girls. The enforcers of the law, including cops and judges, choose to almost always believe powerful men over women. This story is about how those men use the power they have to commit crimes against women and continually get away with it and how society allows them to keep getting away with it.

I think this book is a must read for those who want to understand how our society will ignore atrocities against women if those committing the atrocities are rich and powerful.

A very worthy read

All young girls should read along with parents. So sad and scary that so many young women are experiencing this nightmare!!

Tough, important content

This is an important book that illistrates preditory behavior of men, vulnerability of teen girls, and the misogynistic responses of the public to sexual violence against children. It also makes clear the importance of good communication in families and unconditional love of parents/guardians. This is a good choice for families and youth groups to read together and sure to spark conversations about critical issues.

A must read/listen

fantastic story. wonderful narrating. the story was done extremely well. I was hooked at chapter one.

Tiffany has done it again!

What a moving and important book! Every preteen, teenager and parent needs to read this book. It’s so important to know the signs and to help those who are being taken advantage of.

WOW!

After the book finished, I realized that I was somewhat holding my breath. The storyline was on point ! I was hooked from beginning to end. It's not filled with a lot of fluff that drives most of us crazy. Everything just flowed,,,, And the narrator was phenomenal! This is definitely a book that young and seasoned people need to hear/read.

Amazing

This book was amazing! So many times, I wanted to grab Enchanted’s shoulders & shake some sense into her but then I kept remembering how young and naive she was. Korey definitely got what he deserved.

Another great tutor by Tiffany Jackson

I really enjoyed the correlation between real life events. This being inspired by a true case made it very relevant.
