Description
A Cherokee teenager named Sequoyah is caught in the Oklahoma foster care system, drifting between homes and trying to hold onto a sense of self while his mother’s absence grows heavier. As he navigates caretakers who offer both shelter and control, friendships that feel like lifelines, and the quiet pull of family history, Sequoyah’s search for “home” becomes a search for belonging, identity, and survival. With lyrical, darkly observant storytelling, this novel blends intimate character study with a haunting sense of the past’s presence—where memory, loss, and love sit side by side. Through themes of displacement, found family, and the cost of being unseen, it delivers an emotionally charged journey that lingers long after the last page.
