The Other Side of the Family

Maureen McCarthy's tender exploration of family secrets spans two hemispheres and generations. When fifteen-year-old Kate visits her father's relatives in Australia, she uncovers hidden histories that reshape everything she thought she knew about belonging and identity. McCarthy weaves together past and present with sensitivity, creating a coming-of-age story that asks what we inherit beyond bloodlines. Perfect for readers who love multi-generational tales of family, migration, and the pull of home.
