A Book of Personal Essays l Feature Adaptation
Similar to: I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, House on Mango Street
Homecoming is a collection of short personal essays exploring the meaning of home through a young woman’s post-lockdown journey across America.
Homecoming is a cry for a world in the midst of a meaning crisis. In a time when identity is being fought for by advertisers; when we’ve traded in family and place-based community and the tech that’s supposed to connect us only makes us more disconnected; when God has been discarded and what’s been put in place simply cannot hold - it can be hard to know what's real and true. What does it really mean to be home? And what does it take to find it?
