Hey well read baddies, welcome to another special edition minisode! On today's episode we speak with author Christian Cook. She is the author of a new novel called Growing in the Gray. This book is written in the classic style of a coming-of-age tale, with a Black girl as the protagonist. The story itself illustrates the growing pains of growing up, family drama, love, and how making a name for yourself is not always black or white but "gray". We discuss her journey of being a writer as a black woman and of course the scoop on her new book! Tune in for all of the fun and share with a friend!
