In a companion to Stone Cove Island, a girl struggles to piece together her fractured family, for fans of subculture/chosen family novels a la This Song Will Save Your Life.

It’s always been just Wren and her mother, Hannah. But when Hannah receives a reporting assignment in Greenland, Wren is shipped to Hardwick Hall, Hannah’s alma mater, the boarding school she’s refused to discuss for as long as Wren can remember. After Wren is unsuccessful at befriending her stuck-up suitemate, Honor, she finds an escape in riding horses and in hanging out with cute rowers, like the adorably crinkly-eyed Nick. She finds her niche in the campus’s underground music scene with Chazzy, a darkly hilarious fellow musician. But soon clues about her mother’s dark past threaten to destroy Wren’s new life.

Praise for I'm From Nowhere

Praise for I'm From Nowhere:

"[Wren] has the courage to plunge in and swim, making her a heroine readers are willing to follow and root for . . . A cleanly and confidently written coming-of-age story." --The New York Journal of Books

"Wren, a budding guitarist and singer . . . struggles with the usual fish-out-of-water issues [at Hardwick Hall] . . . [and] discovers the joy of horseback riding and finds a true friend in Chazzy, a talented and daring singer . . . Warm and believably complex." --Kirkus Reviews

"Wren is a character that does not run with the popular crowd, but skirts it just enough that many teen girls can relate to her. Her relationships with guys are both interesting and careful, making it an easy one to recommend to young teen girls looking for romances with a little drama." --VOYA Magazine
