Three months since her dad fell apart. Sarah has left her fine arts boarding school to take care of her dad and her little brother, and now she's trying to hold everything together at home while adjusting to the local public high school. With her dad's drinking and spending getting out of control, Sarah struggles to make sure that the bills are paid, that her brother is fed and safe, that her dad's grief won't crush them all. She has no time for art, unless she's cranking out a piece to sell online for some grocery money. And she definitely doesn't have the time or the emotional energy to find out if her sweet, handsome classmate, David Garza, could be more than a friend. But then a school project prompts Sarah to delve into her mom's Mexican and Guatemalan roots. As she learns more about this side of her heritage, Sarah starts to understand her mom better-and starts to face her own grief. When she stumbles upon a long-buried piece of history that mattered deeply to her mom, Sarah realizes she can't carry her pain silently anymore. She has to speak up, and she can't do it alone. "Through Sarah's tentative steps toward healing, Mickelson (Where I Belong) attentively showcases the mending power of tenderness, patience, and love in this moving read. Ages 12–up. (May)"-Publishers Weekly [L]ovingly conveys the pivotal role older siblings can play after a parent's death and weaves in Sarah's new interest in Guatemalan history and social activism in an organic manner. A thoughtful and substantive story about loss, cultural discovery, and first love."-Kirkus Reviews "A beautifully told, breathtaking story."-Francisco Stork, author of On the Hook "A poignant, raw, and emotional story of grief, loss, and the courage it takes to fight for our beliefs-and ourselves."-Crystal Maldonado, author of Fat Chance, Charlie Vega and No Filter and Other Lies "Prepare to be captivated by strong, resourceful, artistic Sarah as she holds her family together after tragedy. Written with clarity and insight, this book is driven by devotion to family, tender romance, and Sarah's determination to use her artistic talent to right a wrong. A must-read for anyone who loves to cheer for a brave young woman!"-Rebecca Balcárcel, Pura Belpré Honor winning author of The Other Half of Happy [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15573607 [pa] => [publisher] => Lerner Publishing Group [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
