WHERE IS Home?

Some loves teach you where you belong. His taught her to keep asking.

The Story

A first love written in sugarcane and starlight

Price range: $10.99 through $20.99

In 1970s Trinidad, fourteen-year-old Katy feels trapped between her mother’s ambitions and the watchful world of the sugarcane fields. Then she meets Stewart—a beautiful, restless stranger who is wrong for her in every way society understands, yet feels like the first person who truly sees her.

Their secret love unfolds through convent-school afternoons, hidden gardens, Christmas parang, and rainforest rivers, against a vivid backdrop of sugar, rum, calypso, and colonial history. But as they grow older, family expectations, old wounds, and the island’s rigid social divisions begin to close around them.

Katy must decide how much of herself she is willing to risk for a love the world refuses to accept. Where Is Home? is a lush coming-of-age romance about first love, identity, belonging, and the kind of love that teaches us not how to stay, but how to leave.

From the Opening Page

“Take me home wit you.”
A suave, velvety voice she heard. She paused, and she turned her head towards the sound. Their eyes connected — instant recognition, instant remembrance from somewhere yet unknown to them both.
