What to expect
Birdie has come too far to go quietly …
A powerful and emotional novel inspired by the Windrush Scandal, for fans of All My Mothers by Joanna Glen and Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez
This is a story about being told you don’t belong. This is a story about knowing you do.
This is a story about Birdie.
Birdie Brown’s life is held together by family — her sharp-witted daughter Carmen, her son Scott who no one mentions, and five grandkids who keep her on her toes. Retirement is bingo nights, babysitting, and TV with her granddaughter Saffie — until a letter from the Home Office arrives.
It says she’s here illegally. That she must return to Jamaica — a country she hasn’t seen since childhood.
As the system threatens to erase her, Birdie must confront buried truths and fractured ties. Can she hold on to the life she built — and the family that built her?
