Description
Growing in the Gray centers around Krista Clark’s once upper-middle-class family as their economic downfall threatens to impact her college choice. This is the last thing she needs as she navigates a new city, works to ditch her lame high school label, and tries to figure out what she wants from a guy who can’t seem to give her a clear signal to save his life.
Just when she thinks she has it all figured out by choosing to go to Chicago and starting her life over; it doesn’t take long to figure out that not everything goes as planned.
Embarking on adult life isn’t black and white, and her anxiety spikes as doubt weighs on her mind. She second-guesses leaving home for a taste of big city glamour, and even the most minute daily choices. She needs more than her moral compass to get her through the twists and turns growing up throws her way.

Advance Praise
“This masterly penned book is a page-turner as we are invited to hear the heroine’s most intimate thoughts as she ponders her future and makes transformational choices.
I recommend this book to anyone who has had a life-changing experience growing into adulthood, and of course to those who may be taking the leap to leave home for the first time.”
—Joanne Telser-Frere, Director of Program Development, Literacy Chicago
“Growing in the Gray is an exceptional read. Christian Cook's human personalization of her characters are as on-point as I've ever seen, and I've read quite a few books in my time. It has the same in-depth feel as Shopgirl, but armed with a more youthful and fresh take. Growing in the Gray carries on from I Hate Gray, and it feels as if the story has never paused. I can't wait to see how Krista thinks and operates at age 67!”
–Patrick Edwards, Executive Assistant, Street Wise Magazine
