1987. There’s only one person who has ever truly understood
fourteen-year-old June Elbus, and that’s her uncle, the renowned painter
Finn Weiss. Shy at school and distant from her older sister, June can
only be herself in Finn’s company; he is her godfather, confidant, and
best friend. So when he dies, far too young, of a mysterious illness her
mother can barely speak about, June’s world is turned upside down. But
Finn’s death brings a surprise acquaintance into June’s life—someone who
will help her to heal, and to question what she thinks she knows about
Finn, her family, and even her own heart.

 

At Finn’s funeral,
June notices a strange man lingering just beyond the crowd. A few days
later, she receives a package in the mail. Inside is a beautiful teapot
she recognizes from Finn’s apartment, and a note from Toby, the
stranger, asking for an opportunity to meet. As the two begin to spend
time together, June realizes she’s not the only one who misses Finn, and
if she can bring herself to trust this unexpected friend, he just might
be the one she needs the most.

 

An emotionally charged coming-of-age novel, Tell the Wolves I’m Home is a tender story of love lost and found, an unforgettable portrait of the way compassion can make us whole again.
