About This Book
Reach for this book if your teenager is struggling with the emotional fragmentation that often follows a divorce or the feeling of being a 'visitor' in their own family. It is a sensitive exploration of how young people navigate the discomfort of blended families and the search for a meaningful connection that feels entirely their own. The story follows Laura and Jonas, two teens who catch a fleeting glimpse of each other on a New York City subway platform. While it deals with the logistics of split households and the awkwardness of new parental partners, it elevates these mundane struggles into a lyrical story about destiny and the soul's ability to heal. It is ideal for readers aged 12 and up who appreciate a touch of magical realism within a grounded, emotional landscape.
