You Are Not Alone

By Miriam Devorah Stone

Sometimes the child who looks like the problem is the child no one has stopped to truly hear.

Sixteen-year-old Ruchel Hartman leaves home carrying a blue suitcase, a heart full of anger, and a truth she tried to tell long before anyone was ready to listen.

Seventeen-year-old Ari Klein is running too, carrying secrets, fear, and mistakes that have convinced the people closest to him that they know his story.

Both are hurting. Both have learned that needing someone can be dangerous. And both are about to discover that finding your way home is not as simple as walking back through the door.

You Are Not Alone is an emotional novel about fractured families, painful truths, faith, accountability, forgiveness, and the difficult work of rebuilding trust. It explores what happens when parents realize that loving a child is not always the same as hearing them, and what it takes to leave a light on without pretending the darkness never happened.

Tender, gripping, and ultimately hopeful, this is a story for anyone who has ever wondered whether there is still a place for them at the table.

Some doors close. Some families break. But sometimes, with courage, truth, and love, a way home can still be found.
