Synopsis

Swanee Burrows, the restless, razor-sharp fifteen-year-old daughter of a scandal-ridden congressman and a flawed yet magnetic socialite, struggles to find her footing as her parents' bitter and very public divorce spirals out of control. In the rain-soaked landscape of the Pacific Northwest, Swanee's runaway attempts and the intricate web of deception surrounding her family bring her dangerously close to the edge of no return.At its heart, True Home is a story about coming-of-age and coming to the truth-a tale of love, betrayal, and the dangerous risks we take to find where we truly belong. Janet Clare invites readers into a world where every relationship is a labyrinth and daring to love might just be the greatest danger of all.True Home delivers the same piercing emotional clarity as the great domestic dramas of the late 20th century, inviting comparisons to Ordinary People and Endless Love. Yet, Clare forges her own path, presenting a story that feels at once timeless and thrillingly fresh.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily - thanks Book Sirens. This was a 2.5/5 stars for me.
