YOU`D BE HOME NOW

From the New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces comes a breathtaking story about a town, its tragedies, and the quiet beauty of everyday life.

For all of Emory's life she's been told who she is. In town she's the rich one the great-great granddaughter of the Mill's founder. At school she's hot Maddie Ward's younger sister. And at home, she's the good one, her stoner older brother Joey's babysitter. Everything was turned on its head, though, when she and Joey were in the car accident that killed Candy MontClaire. The car accident that revealed just how bad Joey's drug habit was.

Four months later Emmy's junior year is starting, Joey's home from rehab, and the entire town of Mill Haven is still reeling from the aftermath of the accident. Everyone's still telling Emmy who she is, but so much has changed, how can she be the same person? Or was she ever that person at all?

Mill Haven wants everyone to live one story, but Emmy's beginning to see that people are more than they appear. Her brother, who might not be "cured," the popular guy who lives next door, and most of all, many "ghostie" addicts who haunt the edges of the town. Emmy's beginning to see that people spend so much time telling you who you are it might be time to decide that for herself.

Inspired by the American classic Our Town, You'd Be Home Now is Kathleen's Glasgow's glorious modern story of a town and all the secret lives people live there. And the story of a girl, figuring out life in all its pain and beauty and struggle and joy.
