Grown Women: A Novel by Sarai Johnson

4.0

An incredible debut that takes a deep dive into generational trauma, motherhood, and the choices we make when raising our children.

Johnson shows great promise as an author. She tackles sensitive subjects with nuance and care. She brings new ideas tot he table and had me really thinking about the effects that I dealt with trauma can have on an entire family.

I think this is an underrated gem for the season and would love to see it get more attention. The only drawback for me was its length; I do believe it could have been just a tad shorter and it would have been stellar.
