Synopsis
Every fifteen years, trouble comes after the Slocumb women. Now, as their youngest turns fifteen, a whole new kind of commotion is chasing all three generations. Mosey's desperate to know who used their yard as a make-shift cemetery, and why. The oldest, forty-five year old Ginny, fights to protect Mosey from the truth, a fight that could cost Ginny the love of her life. Between them is Liza, silenced by a stroke, with the answers trapped inside her. To survive Liza's secrets and Mosey's insistent adventures, Ginny must learn to trust the love that braids the strands of their past--and stop at nothing to defend their future.

Review
Praise for A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty
"A mesmerizing tale of a family coping with the revelation of a secret that will change their lives... Jackson's most absorbing book yet, a lush, rich read with three very different but equally compelling characters at its core."--Kristine Huntley, Booklist (Starred Review)"Highly immersive... a compelling page turner."--PW
"A valentine to the bonds of family!"
--Family Circle
"[There are] hundreds of moving parts in the machinery of Jackson's intricate mystery, all deliciously unraveled one tantalizing clue at a time."--Gina Webb, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"[A] warm family story that teeters between emotional highs and lows, laughter and tears. Book groups will eat this up."
--Library Journal
"Jackson's signature style-the feisty, bighearted voice of Gods in Alabama and Backseat Saints-propels this funny, dark whodunit, where strong women who've made bad choices band together to come out on top."--Melissa Ruggieri, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"A deeply felt, engaging story."
--The Atlantic
"Snappy dialogue with a Southern twang, spiritual uplift and undeniably likable characters."--Kirkus Reviews
"Three generations of Slocumbs grapple with deep-buried family secrets in this entertaining Southern whodunit."--All You Magazine
"Compelling....Jackson introduces some truly appalling villains as well as a handful of affable supporting characters... The Slocumb women are easy to root for."--Hannah Sampson, Miami Herald-Tribune
