EVERY READER WILL SEE THEMSELVES IN KISHALYNN'S STORIES, AND RECEIVE THE HEALING THAT SHE IS SHARING IN THEM WITH SUCH VULNERABILITY. AS WITH HER PREVIOUS BOOK, "CHILDISH", READERS CAN EXPECT "BLACK WOMAN GROWN" TO BE A RAW AND HONEST DEPICTION OF HER EXPERIENCES, DROPPING INTO MOMENTS IN A WAY THAT DELIGHTS THE SENSES AND IMMERSES EVERY READER IN HER STORIES.
