Naomi has bounced around the care system for far too long. When she s placed with the Goldings, an emergency foster home, her expectations are already on the floor. But sometimes connections find you where you least expect them.

Home Girl is fast-paced and funny, tender, tragic and full of courage – just like Naomi. It is award-winning author Alex Wheatle s most moving and personal novel to date.
