In 1987, fourteen-year-old June Elbus loses her closest confidant: her beloved uncle Finn, a renowned painter who dies of a mysterious illness no one will talk about. Shy, misunderstood, and distanced from her sister, June grieves alone—until a stranger from Finn’s past reaches out.
Toby is the man June was never supposed to meet. But as their unlikely friendship grows, she discovers a side of Finn—and of herself—she never knew.
Tender, nostalgic, and profoundly moving, Tell the Wolves I’m Home is a coming-of-age story wrapped in grief, love, and healing. A dazzling debut that explores the power of human connection in the wake of loss, this New York Times bestseller is as unforgettable as first love—and as necessary as forgiveness.
