This book brings to light the many differences in our lives before and after a significant change. It is comforting to note that the Saviour of the world remains constant in all of our life changes. Being "away" can be as promising as being in school, as exciting as being on holidays, as traumatic as being hospitalised or as heartbreaking as being in prison. We may look forward to the return home with excitement or fear or great anxiety. What changes lie in store for me? Will I be welcomed? Is there anything of my past life that is left? Depending on our circumstances while "away", we may need an invitation from others to encourage us to take that first step, yet at other times the first step must be made out of our own desperate need for a positive change. Thanks for this timely reminder that all we need can be found in Jesus. He knows us all personally, cares for us all individually and loves us all unconditionally. Londy L Esdaille Nevis

Named one of New York Public Library's & Bank Street's Best Books of the Year! The Farewell meets Erin Entrada Kelly's Blackbird Fly in this empowering middle grade memoir from debut author Waka T. Brown, who takes readers on a journey to 1980s Japan, where she was sent as a child to reconnect to her family’s roots. When twelve-year-old Waka’s parents suspect she can’t understand the basic Japanese they speak to her, they make a drastic decision to send her to Tokyo to live for several months with her strict grandmother. Forced to say goodbye to her friends and what would have been her summer vacation, Waka is plucked from her straight-A-student life in rural Kansas and flown across the globe, where she faces the culture shock of a lifetime. In Japan, Waka struggles with reading and writing in kanji, doesn’t quite mesh with her complicated and distant Obaasama, and gets made fun of by the students in her Japanese public-school classes. Even though this is the country her parents came from, Waka has never felt more like an outsider. If she’s always been the “smart Japanese girl” in America but is now the “dumb foreigner” in Japan, where is home...and who will Waka be when she finds it?
