"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
