She deserves to shine in the spotlight, and so does Other Words for Home.” (NPR) I wanted nothing more than to be her friend and listen to whatever she had to say about life. It's a book about kindness, for one it sings, for another…And that's Jude.

“ Poetic and powerful…There are so many reasons to read this novel. This lyrical, life-affirming story is about losing and finding home, and most importantly, finding yourself. Maybe America, too, is a place where Jude can be seen as she really is. But this life also brings unexpected surprises-there are new friends, a whole new family, and a school musical that Jude might just try out for. –and her new label of “Middle Eastern,” an identity she’s never known before. The American movies that Jude has always loved haven’t quite prepared her for starting school in the U.S. But when things in her home town start becoming volatile, Jude and her mother are sent to live in Cincinnati with relatives.Īt first, everything in America seems too fast and too loud.
