Raised Wrong, STILL Right: Essense Of Ebony Books

By Ebz Dixon

"Some girls are born in the fire. Others were raised by it."

In the heart of South London, four young Black women navigate a world that never gave them a head start-but still expects them to survive with grace. What they give instead? Smoke, secrets, and side-eyes.

Meet Zariah, Destiny, Imani, and Chardonnay-sisters by circumstance, not blood, bound by betrayal, trauma, and the unspoken rule: never let them see you break.

But life is cracking at the seams.
Zariah's life has turned inward after a decision that haunts her.
Destiny's TikTok fame can't protect her from Marlene's fury-or her own reflection.
Imani's playing chess in a city full of snakes, cleaning up a mess she didn't start.
And Chardonnay? Her baggage is heavy. And DIRTY.

They've been labeled bad breed. Broken. Hopeless.
But underneath the lashes, the wigs, and the locked phones is a generation built on survival.

Bold, lyrical, and laced with humour, pain, and power, Raised Wrong, STILL Right is a raw coming-of-age tale for every girl who's ever been underestimated, misread, or left behind-and came back harder.

Perfect for fans of: Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams, Sister Souljah, The Hate U Give, Skins (UK), and Top Boy with a Black feminist twist.

Themes: Black girlhood, urban sisterhood, intergenerational trauma, survival, Caribbean family dynamics, secrets, betrayal, and redemption.
