EVERYTHING GROWS WILL grow inside you like a revelation, slowly unfolding to a shape that is vulnerable, raw and beautifully alive. . . . There’s tender wisdom and a wonderfully rendered young voice that anyone can recognize as human and real—all against a backdrop of riot grrrl rebellion. Herman writes a real story, teaching everyone a little about life as lived—genuinely and in discovery.

EVERYTHING GROWS IS haunting. It touches the darkness of bullying and suicide, yet brims with hope. Aimee Herman’s tender debut novel is an achingly real exploration of grief, self-discovery, forgiveness, and love.

SET IN THE decade of grunge rock and ill-advised do-it-yourself body piercings, Aimee Herman’s Everything Grows chronicles a sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes funny journey to acceptance, both of self and others. Eleanor Fromme is a witty, kind, and conflicted narrator who could teach many people in our nation a lot about empathy.

JULIA WATTS, author, Quiver

EVERYTHING GROWS IS a work of healing. It describes coming out as a lifelong process of discovery. Friendship, disfunction, parenting good and bad, and learning to love are unspooled here against a background of exquisite caring. It is the rare read that leaves one a wiser person.
