About the Ebook
Growing Pains celebrates its 1 year anniversary featuring a new design and 4 additional poems in the remastered edition of Joy Anjelica's first book. Growing Pains explores the pains of navigating through life as a young, black woman by asking the author, the reader, and God difficult questions. Each poem is an emotional meditation that demands to be deeply examined. Using personal experiences, Joy takes the audience on a journey through fires, floods, and other unnatural disasters to create a world of connection with readers using raw and impactful, storytelling. Growing Pains is a book of woven stories that say we have survived our darkest moments thus far, and we can survive anything else that may come our way.
