First Chapter Friday - Other Words for Home
from First Chapter Fridays Hosted by Katie Leahy
This is “a hope-filled story that doesn’t pander but instead peels back layers of culture and identity, fear and prejudice, exile and belonging, all wrapped around a young Syrian girl - Jude. Checked with equal parts fear and moxie, Jude is a heart trying to figure out how to beat outside the body. I ached first her, but simultaneously found that though our stories are different, I am her. This is a necessary story. We’re lucky to have it in the world.” - Jason Reynolds
