Looking for Jamie Bridger

Reach for this book when your teenager is expressing a deep curiosity about their heritage or if they feel like their family is withholding information about the past. It is an ideal choice for adolescents navigating the complexities of identity, especially those who feel 'different' from the people raising them and are seeking a sense of true belonging. Fourteen-year-old Jamie Bridger has always lived with her strict grandparents, but the wall of silence regarding her parents finally pushes her to launch her own investigation. As she uncovers the truth, the story touches on themes of honesty, the nuances of family love, and the reality that finding your roots can be both healing and heartbreaking. While it is written with the pace of a mystery, it serves as a profound tool for normalizing the messy feelings that come with family secrets and non-traditional domestic structures.
