Description

In a vivid, emotionally resonant story, a young narrator and her family confront the pull of heritage, memory, and belonging as they navigate change in their everyday lives. When the past surfaces through stories, songs, and family connections, the characters begin to understand how identity is carried forward—and how it can be reclaimed, questioned, and celebrated. Blending warmth with insight, the book explores themes of family legacy, cultural pride, and the ways grief and hope can coexist. With Kathryn Erskine’s distinctive, lyrical storytelling and compassionate attention to a child’s perspective, this is a moving read that invites readers to see “home” as something both inherited and actively made.
