"A Southern charmer, laced with humor, mystery, and affairs of the heart... A valentine to the bonds of family" from the New York Times-bestselling author (Family Circle).

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.

"[An] intricate mystery, all deliciously unraveled one tantalizing clue at a time." -- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"A heart-thumping mystery, an edge-of-your-seat drama, and a fiercely sweet comedy all at once." -- Sara Gruen, New York Times-bestselling author

"In her latest Southern Gothic joyride, Joshilyn Jackson creates an unforgettable story of generational dysfunction and sloppily buried secrets." -- Atlanta Magazine

"More than a Southern whodunit; it's a tale that probes deeper and asks the reader to consider universal themes of self-identity, family, and love... The novel moves quickly, and Jackson gives each character an interesting story line." -- The Charleston Post and Courier

"Madness! Mayhem! Laughter! Tears! Emotional roller coasters, old lies, and an unmarked grave propel the Slocumb women into action. Joshilyn Jackson's signature style explodes in A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty. Buckle up and enjoy!" -- Adriana Trigiani, New York Times-bestselling author

"Spellbinding... proves again that Joshilyn Jackson is one of the best writers of the new generation." -- Mark Childress, author of Georgia Bottoms
