Melanated Reads: Anybody's Daughter

Monday, May 3, 2021

Our newest book group gathers online to discuss Pamela Samuels Young's exciting mystery thriller, an NAACP Image Award-winner for Outstanding Fiction.

This month, the Melanated Reads Book Group discusses Anybody's Daughter by Pamela Samuels Young.

Thirteen-year-old Brianna Walker is thrilled. She’s about to sneak off to her first real boyfriend. But Brianna is in for a horrifying surprise because the boy she met on Instagram doesn’t exist. Instead, Brianna is hurled into a shocking world most people know nothing about. Brianna’s Uncle Dre is not content to wait on police to bring his niece home. He searches the streets of Los Angeles determined to end this nightmare. But will he find Brianna before it’s too late?
