Grown Folks’ Business is a thought-provoking journey of loss, discovery, and the unrelenting search for truth. When Joey Parker and Hannon Washington lose two men they loved deeply, they are thrown into a world of unanswered questions and buried secrets. Their grief is not just personal-it’s a reflection of the untold stories of the past that continue to shape lives today. These two men were more than mentors to Joey and Hannon; they were family. And now, with their sudden deaths, Joey and Hannon are left to unravel the mysteries surrounding their lives-and in doing so, confront the uncomfortable truths about their own identities and the history they’ve been taught to forget.Set against the backdrop of a nation grappling with a wave of revisionism; Grown Folks’ Business explores the battle to preserve the legacies of those who fought for justice, only to have their stories erased or distorted over time. Forced into this battle by a coincidence of birth, Joey and Hannon navigate a maze of silenced truths, while digging into the lives of the two activists... and they quickly realize that the truth is not something that will be handed to them.This is more than a quest for closure. It’s a quest for authenticity. It’s a story about confronting the hard truths we often avoid and the bravery it takes to confront the history we’ve been taught to ignore. As they uncover hidden histories, Joey and Hannon must decide how they want to be treated in the world they’ve been given.Grown Folks’ Business challenges readers to think about what it means to truly know your past and how the secrets of history influence your present. It carries a slightly different purpose than its predecessor, Security Among Titles, but still deals with a world where some truths are easier to ignore than others; and the bravery, growth, and resilience required.If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to truly understand the legacies of those who came before you-if you’ve ever questioned the history you were taught and the truths hidden from you-then this is the story you’ve been waiting for. Grown Folks’ Business is not just about loss; it’s about the power of knowing, the courage to uncover, and the strength to move forward in the face of uncomfortable truths.
