Leah Baer has been shuffled between parents and homes for years, and her return to her father’s house—now shared with his new wife—seems like a permanent new start. Yet Leah feels out of place at home and in school. When she meets the unconventional boy Will, he becomes her unlikely friend and nudges her to try acting as a way to express herself. Through theater, Leah learns more about her own feelings, fits in with her family, and gradually understands what it truly means to feel at home.
