Description
For Semira, home is a place she's never known. Born to a mother who has always been on the move, she longs for freedom and a sense of belonging.
Meanwhile, in 1891, Hen is living a life that feels stiflingly familiar. Her Aunt Kitty is introducing her to a world of new ideas and possibilities, but Hen's own desires are trapped behind a mask of propriety.
When Semira discovers Hen's diary, she finds the courage to be brave and fight for her place in the world. A powerful tale of friendship, hope, and finding the strength to stand up for what you believe in.
