Anywhere But Here

A YA Coming of Age Story

When thirteen-year-old twins Joy and Libby Morrison are reunited after months in different foster homes, their relief is short-lived. Their new group home is known for its abuse, but putting up with it is the only way they can stay together.

The only thing keeping Joy going is her relationship with streetwise hood Cal Gordon and his friends. Older and wise to the ways of foster care, Cal is bent on teaching Joy how to survive. But it isn't enough.

When the abuse becomes more than the girls and their new roommate, Angel, can bear, Joy is desperate to finance their escape from the system. Cal can get her into a car theft ring, but if it backfires she faces permanent separation from her sister and friends.

A coming-of-age story in the vein of The Outsiders, Anywhere But Here highlights the strong relationships that form under the most difficult of circumstances.
