You'd Be Home Now

"You'd Be Home Now" by Kathleen Glasgow is a raw and honest contemporary novel about a young girl who learns about the beauty and pain of life, when she learns the truth about the many closely held secrets people have in her small town.

Emmy is used to being regarded as the quiet and reliable sibling. Her older sister Maddie is beautiful, stubborn, and popular and her older brother Joey is a wild stoner who needs babysitting. When Emmy and Joey are involved in a car crash that results in the death of Candy MontClaire, Joey's secretly out of control drug habit comes to light.

Joey is released from rehab four months later and Emmy is in her junior year of high school. The small town of Mill Haven is still trying to move on from the tragic accident and trying to remind Emmy of who she is, but she isn't sure if she is still that same person she was before the accident.

Bit by bit, Emmy starts to realize that the residents of Mill Haven are desperately trying to appear perfect and polished, all the while they are hiding their own faults, addictions, and imperfections. Maybe it is time for Emmy to break the chain of expectation and choosing who she is for herself.

"You'd Be Home Now" is written by Kathleen Glasgow, the New York Times bestselling author of the beautifully written and hauntingly told YA novels "Girl in Pieces" and "How to Make Friends with the Dark".
