Description
In this beautifully profound YA novel, a trans teen finds a home where queer kids from all different decades have found refuge from hatred-and from time.
Calla Quick has no future. At least, that's how it feels. Her parents disowned her via text message, and now she can't afford to go to an all-women's college with her girlfriend Ramona like they planned. But Calla wonders if maybe that's for the best-because even though Calla told Ramona her parents disowned her because they found out she's gay, the truth is, Calla has been questioning whether she's a girl at all.
Calla wishes she had more time to figure everything out, and one night, her wish is seemingly granted. When Calla and Ramona stumble upon a mysterious farmhouse the woods, they meet five teens who claim they've lived there for decades. The land, which they call Amaranth, acts as a safe haven for queer kids throughout history-a place free of hate, free of violence, free of time itself. Here, Calla can be Cal, and they feel instantly accepted. They don't have to worry about the future because at Amaranth, it will never come-until one night when the clock strikes twelve. Now under a literal ticking clock, the housemates must find a way to stop time again or face going back to their harsh realities, but as Cal learns everyone's story, they begin to wonder what queer people lose when their history is lost to time.

Reviews
-
A fierce, tender story about choosing yourself when it costs you everything, Where You'll Find Us is unflinchingly honest, wildly romantic, and quietly magical. Jen St. Jude captures the ache of first love, the terror of becoming, and the courage it takes to step into the unknown. For anyone who's ever felt caught between who they were and who they might be, this is a reminder: you don't have to have all the answers to begin again.
Aiden Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of THE SUNBEARER TRIALS

Powerful and immeasurably beautiful. Jen St. Jude's writing captures what it really means to be human, queer, and completely yourself. Your heart is in safe hands.
Trang Thanh Tran, New York Times bestselling author of SHE IS A HAUNTING
-
A sweeping ode to queer history and resilience, Jen St. Jude's Where You'll Find Us shines as both a novel of immense heart and passion, and as the literary safe haven this moment in time so desperately calls for. This book won't just find you, it will inspire and heal you.
Abdi Nazemian, Stonewall Award-winning author of LIKE A LOVE STORY and ONLY THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT

Where You'll Find Us is a beautiful swarm of queer history and self-discovery. I want to revel in Jen St. Jude's stories in every lifetime, across all timelines.
Jas Hammonds, award-winning author of WE DESERVE MONUMENTS
-
A stunning portrait of queer identity, found family, and the beauty of being alive, St. Jude crafted a heartfelt novel that both connects us to our past and promises us a future. More than a book, it is a home to come back to, with complex, beautiful characters that truly come to feel like friends.
Justine Pucella Winans, Stonewall Honor-winning author of THE OTHERWOODS and HOW TO SURVIVE A SLASHER

This book is a gift. Like the world of Amaranth itself, Where You'll Find Us is a perfect haven where readers can lean into both sadness and hope, uncertainty and knowing, solitude and community, queer history and future. It will be in my heart forever.
L.T. Thompson, Stonewall Honor-winning author of DEVILS LIKE US
