Reach for this book when your teenager begins questioning their roots or feels like the version of history their family has provided is incomplete.

It masterfully explores themes of self-reliance, the complexity of grief, and the search for belonging after a major loss. Parents will appreciate how the novel treats the protagonist's independence with respect, making it a safe yet provocative space for teens to explore their own emerging identities and the concept of chosen family.
