Girl - Paperback

"Jett's unique storytelling seamlessly blends monologue, poetry, and even recipes to create a strong voice that speaks straight to the hearts of readers. Each entry in Girl stands alone, but together as a whole they tell the powerful story of Girl as she navigates themes of identity, self-worth, trauma, family, and survival. Not a single word is wasted in this haunting book, and what is left unsaid becomes equally as powerful as the words printed on the page. Jett has created a cast of characters and a world that remain vivid long after the last page is read. Readers will want to pick up Girl again and again to read in its entirety, or to open to a random page and savor the poetic writing of this finely-crafted story."
