The co-author of Watch Us Rise pens a novel in verse about all the
good and bad that comes with middle school, growing up girl, and the
strength of family that gets you through it.
Beatrice Miller may have a granny's name (her granny's, to be more
specific), but she adores her Mamaw and her mom, who give her every bit
of wisdom and love they have. But the summer before seventh grade, Bea
wants more than she has, aches for what she can't have, and wonders what
the future will bring.
This novel in verse follows Beatrice through the ups and downs of
friendships, puberty, and identity as she asks: Who am I? Who will I
become? And will my outside ever match the way I feel on the inside?
A gorgeous, inter-generational story of Southern women and a girl's path
blossoming into her sense of self, Reckless, Glorious, Girl explores
the important questions we all ask as we race toward growing up.
