In We Deserve Monuments, Jas Hammonds’ powerful YA debut, a slow-burn mystery, generational trauma, and a swoon-worthy romance intertwine in a deeply emotional coming-of-age story.

📖 Seventeen-year-old Avery Anderson thought her senior year was set—until she’s uprooted from D.C. to live in Bardell, Georgia, with her terminally ill grandmother, Mama Letty. The family tension is unbearable, with secrets no one will talk about and a past that refuses to stay buried.

💔 But Bardell has more mysteries than just her family’s rifts. Avery grows close to Simone Cole, her captivating next-door neighbor, and Jade Oliver, whose mother’s murder remains unsolved. As Avery and Simone’s friendship blossoms into romance, the town’s dark, racist history begins to surface, entangling Avery’s family in ways she never imagined.

⏳ With time running out and Mama Letty’s health fading, Avery must decide: Is uncovering the truth worth shattering everything she’s built?
