Almost There: Searching for Home on the Move
Almost There is for those on the move and those who feel restless right where they are. It’s for those who struggle with not belonging, with feeling unsettled, with believing that home is out of their reach, at least for the moment. And Almost There is for those who find themselves in a transient lifestyle they didn’t expect―say, moving across the country for a new job or the military or an opportunity to begin again.
With imaginative storytelling and witty, relatable prose, Bekah DiFelice offers wisdom for those struggling to belong in a world where home is constantly shifting.
Book Excerpt:
Maybe this is a key part of growing up--- not just leaving home geographically, but learning to leave behind parts of your identity that you thought were enduring, the ways you felt most at home with yourself. It seems to me that maturity grows, not exclusively but heartily, on the fringes of profound disappointment.
You and I confront so many surprise endings in single lifetime, and perhaps this is how we discover exactly what is disposable and what is not. It's how we realize how resilient we are.
