Karamea House

By Anne Keen

Sara has never made a choice in her life. Then her parents die, and there's no one left to make them for her.

For seventeen years, Sara Johnson has felt like a character in her own story, controlled without the ability to decide anything for herself: her clothes, her friends, her future. When a car accident kills her parents, her oppressive world is shattered wide open, and for the first time, she has to choose who she's going to be.

Sent to live at Karamea House, Sara is exposed to a way of life she didn't know existed: a foster home filled with exploration, encouragement, and people who see the world differently than anyone she's ever known.

Torn between the strict religious upbringing she grew up in and the eclectic found family she's landed in, Sara embarks on a divided journey of self-discovery, into a new world of sexuality, love, lies, and violence, and out of the small-town silence that raised her.

A coming of age novel about religious trauma, foster care, and the long, uneven road to finding out who you actually are.
