You'd Be Home Now cover

From the internationally bestselling author of Girl in Pieces and How to Make Friends with the Dark comes a breathtaking contemporary YA about addiction, family and finding your voice.

‘Kathleen Glasgow expands our hearts and invites in a little more humanity.’ Val Emmich, author of Dear Evan Hansen

The quiet one, the obedient one, the reliable one. Emmy has spent her life being told exactly who she is. Not strong-willed like her beautiful sister Maddie and not in rehab like her wild brother Joey. But when a tragic accident changes life in her small town forever, can Emmy keep up the act?

‘Heartbreaking...breathtaking.’ Amber Smith, New York Times bestselling author of The Way I Used to Be 

‘Raw, honest and overflowing with feelings.’ Erin Hahn, author of You’d Be Mine

An evocative, soaring exploration of family, friendship, and the many lives that encompass a small town. With a cast of beautifully drawn characters, You’d Be Home Now is all about losing everything and finding yourself. A welcome affirmation that pain can make way for beauty and hope. Nobody fills a story with emotion quite like Kathleen Glasgow.’ Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here


‘I absolutely loved it. An insightful and powerful story about the impact of addiction on young people and their families, filled with gut-wrenching emotion and hope.’ Anna Day, author of The Fandom

Impossibly moving.’ Vanity Fair


As beautiful as it is raw, You’d Be Home Now is an unflinching tale of addiction. Vivid with fear and resplendent with truth, Kathleen Glasgow’s stories will always break your heart, but so too will they give you the hope to rebuild it.’ Amy Beashel, author ofThe Sky Is Mine
 


‘Through this compassionate sibling relationship, Kathleen Glasgow not only nails what it’s like to love someone with an addiction but humanises the struggle of a teenage drug addict. Emory and Joey’s story as devoted sister and brother will tear you apart and put you back together again.’ Hayley Krischer, author of Something Happened to Ali Greenleaf
