Sixteen-year-old Adela is sent from Indiana to her grandmother’s home in Padua Beach, Florida, after becoming pregnant. There she meets Emory, Simone, and a close group of young mothers who raise children while still navigating school, desire, friendship, family expectations, and their own unfinished girlhoods. Leila Mottley’s The Girls Who Grew Big follows their alliances and betrayals with vivid attention to motherhood, community, resilience, and the difficult ways young women learn to define themselves.
