Magnolias don’t Die
––––––––
AJ Collins expertly guides us through Lauren's brutal, complicated coming of age in a poignant tale about growing up too fast, forgiving too slowly, and the healing power of love, friendship, and family – however it comes.

Hard to put down, this is a nuanced and entertaining coming of age tale. Collins sheds light on the dark experiences of life and delves into the hope and security that is borne of connection. With empathy and insight, Collins reveals the power of vulnerability and the importance of finding your tribe. A big-hearted novel about love and trust. About when to let go, and when to hold on.
