After being hospitalized for depression, fourteen-year-old Kayla is sent from her home in Trinidad to live with her aunt in Canada, yearning to feel at home but feeling more adrift than ever.
Moving from Trinidad to Canada wasn't her idea. But after being hospitalized for depression, her mother sees it as the only option. Living with an estranged aunt she barely remembers in Edmonton, she feels more lost than ever. She just wants to be home home, in Trinidad. But this new home also brings unexpected surprises: the chance at a family that loves unconditionally, the possibility of new friends, and the promise of a hopeful future. Maybe here she can feel at home-- if she can only find the courage to be honest with herself. -- adapted from jacket and perusal of book

Home Home submitted by SBNB on June 9, 2023, 6:21pm This is a good book. It has a lot to do with the main character's depression and her mom's response to it, but it's a good story about her dealing with depression, getting used to a new country and culture, and finding herself.
