For Week Three of New Reads November, Alli and her guest dive into a discussion about TIffany D. Jackson’s latest YA novel, Grown. Published in September 2020, Grown tells the story of an aspiring singer named Enchanted Jones who is swept into the scary world of beloved superstar Korey Fields. It’s a commentary on power and influence and race and the way our society treats victims of sexual assault — and it offers so much important food for thought in this conversation!
(Trigger warning: sexual abuse, rape, assault, child abuse, kidnapping, addiction)
