GO HOME is a story from the headlines, about immigration, torn loyalties, prejudice, and belonging, set on the New Hampshire and Maine Seacoast. It’s told in the alternating voices of Samir, a Bhutanese Nepali refugee beginning a new life in America, and Olive who just wants to make a future with her boyfriend.

“GO HOME is beautiful and powerful! Highly recommended. This is the only Nepali co-authored young adult novel I’ve ever found.”
