From the New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces
comes a stunning novel that Vanity Fair calls "impossibly moving" and
"suffused with light".
In this raw, deeply personal story, a teenaged girl
struggles to find herself amidst the fallout of her brother's addiction in a
town ravaged by the opioid crisis.
For all of Emory's life she's been told who she is.
In town she's the rich one--the great-great-granddaughter of
the mill's founder. At school she's hot Maddie Ward's younger sister.
And at home, she's the good one, her stoner older brother
Joey's babysitter. Everything was turned on its head, though, when she and Joey
were in the car accident that killed Candy MontClaire.
The car accident that revealed just how bad Joey's drug
habit was. Four months later, Emmy's junior year is starting, Joey is home from
rehab, and the entire town of Mill Haven is still reeling from the accident.
Everyone's telling Emmy who she is, but so much has changed,
how can she be the same person? Or was she ever that person at all?
Mill Haven wants everyone to live one story, but Emmy's
beginning to see that people are more than they appear. Her brother, who might
not be cured, the popular guy who lives next door, and most of all, many
ghostie addicts who haunt the edges of the town.
People spend so much time telling her who she is--it might
be time to decide for herself.
A journey of one sister, one brother, one family, to finally
recognize and love each other for who they are, not who they are supposed to
be, You'd Be Home Now is Kathleen Glasgow's glorious and heartbreaking story
about the opioid crisis, and how it touches all of us.
