Résumé :
Can a move half way across the country be a blessing in disguise?Juliana is trapped between Opa and Mom: Opa doesn't understand why his daughter ever left home, and Mom is doing everything possible to not spend time with her father. Juliana has had enough! But with her parents always working and her best friend half way across the country, Juliana wonders who she can rely on for help. To soothe her feelings of despair, she turns to her great-grandmother's sketchbook. Elisabeth feels Tata's absence everywhere, especially at this important time in her life, her confirmation, when she becomes an adult in their church. But when schoolboys torment her younger sister because Tata has left their community, and Mammi mysteriously locks herself away in the shoemaking workshop, Elisabeth has no choice but to seek help from the very people Mammi despises: Tata's family. As both girls begin forging new bonds with family they've become closer to only after those life-changing moves so many months ago, they ask themselves: can something positive come out of something that at first seemed so devastating? Missing Home is the sixth book in Lori Wolf-Heffner's contemporary/historical series, Between Worlds. For those who love history, the arts, and family ties, pick up a copy of Missing Home and enjoy a story that crosses generations....
