Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the heavy realization that a parent is struggling with addiction or when they are facing a major life transition they did not choose. Maya is sent to Seattle to live with a grandmother she barely knows because her mother can no longer care for her. Through the lens of the city's rich musical history, the story explores themes of abandonment, the restorative power of creative expression, and the resilience required to build a new sense of home. It is a soulful and realistic choice for middle schoolers needing to process complicated family dynamics and the healing nature of intergenerational connections.
