A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty
by Joshilyn Jackson
As in past Jackson novels, I could not put this down. She has the ability to immediately draw readers to the characters of the story. Centred around three generations--daughter, mother and grandmother--themes of family and the female identity are featured here. Jackson has created an intriguing mystery that plays out as a drama. Felled by a stroke at the age of 30, Liza is cared for by her mother, Ginny. Liza's daughter, Mosey, is 15 years old and is both dealing with her mother's recovery and the fact that her family has a reputation in her deeply religious Alabama town. When Ginny decides to cut down the giant willow tree in their yard, bones of a baby are discovered and a journey to reveal true identities is set in motion. I love Joshilyn Jackson!
