Come Home, Friday
by Emma Abrams
Secrets. Ruthless operatives. Shadowy overseers. And two young adults caught in the middle.
Frankie Donofrio’s dad told her, “We all have choices.”
Day Goode’s father told him, “One can never go home.”
Together, the high school sweethearts make a choice… to go home. Only his home is in a secret collectivist society, not on any map. And Frankie has no idea what is waiting for them. It is the beginning of a journey of discovery, making life-changing decisions… and danger. Because, unknown to Day and Frankie, their choice will have an impact felt around the world. More importantly, most of their decisions have already been made by people they have never even met.
Come Home, Friday is a story about family, love, and faith. And the big question of whether you can ever truly go home.

And yet, the police and even her own family aren’t quite convinced she is who she says she is… See more
About
Emma Abrams is a West coast girl, living almost all her life within a day’s drive of the Pacific Ocean, albeit on two different continents. As a daughter of missionaries, Emma is keenly aware of the pros and cons of the Third Culture Kid world, which she explores in her writing. Much has been written about TCK’s, but learning to live in the “Muggle world” has been a lifelong quest. An avid reader, books were her escape hatch as a child, and anything from Nancy Drew to Encyclopedia Brittanica was on her radar. The strong literary characters she adored helped her navigate re-entry to living in North America, and nudge her own characters to deeper waters of self-awareness and integrity. See Bio
