It’s Allie’s 14th birthday, and she’s in her 17th foster home. “Play the game and they’ll let you come home,” her mom says. And Allie’s great at the game—at lying about her mom’s drinking, at hiding the weird things her brother does, at pretending the counseling is actually helping. Allie is so great at the game that she never has to stay in a foster home more than three months.
Now Allie has a problem: Her newest foster family can see right through her lies, and they’re trying to stop her from going back home. Ever. The last place Allie wants to live is on a smelly old farm in the middle of nowhere. But how do you fight it when everyone around you is saying that where you were born isn’t where you belong?
HOME is a touching tale about a girl struggling to reunite her family, protect her young siblings, and gain control of her life—all in the face of family problems that no one believes she can fix. Free on Kindle.
