How To Find Home
Mahsuda Snaith
Molly has lived on the streets for fifteen years. She has great friends but is always hungry and often afraid. So when a new acquaintance sets off on a journey from one side of the country to the other, to a place she’s long wanted to see, Molly decides to go too.
But it isn’t easy to leave the past behind. At every stop on their unusual quest, Molly senses something behind her, the footsteps of an old adversary and a memory that cannot be forgotten. And yet she must find the courage to continue if she’s ever going to discover a place that really feels like home.
A vibrant, invigorating, and affecting novel and the inspiring portrait of a young homeless woman from Observer New Face of Fiction Mahsuda Snaith.
