“In ROAM, C.H. Armstrong sings with a brilliant, powerful youthful voice as she portrays a narrator named Abby who experiences what it's like to be homeless with her family while dealing with the emotional and complex daily challenges of attending a new school. We, her readers, are drawn in from the first page. This lovely book has tremendous heart."

-- Brandon Hobson, author of Where the Dead Sit Talking

Roam is a compelling, accurate look into the life of a homeless teen. A must-read for all young people to understand the hardship of homelessness and how they can reach out to help others.”

-- Cathy Lamb, author of No Place I’d Rather Be

“How does a teenaged girl hide from her new friends the fact that she is homeless? Abby Lunde hates her own lies and deception but aren’t they better than the truth? In her warm and hopeful novel, C.H. Armstrong has created a spirited heroine who triumphs over her circumstances thanks to those who believe in her; friends, family, teachers and ultimately, herself."

-- Lorna Landvik, Author of Once in A Blue Moon Lodge

“Roam is a book we need; too often we look past families like Abby Lunde’s who live on the periphery of our lives and our novels. Armstrong’s book pays compassionate and eloquent attention to teenage angst and love amidst the backdrop of homelessness.”

-- Cara Sue Achterberg, author of national bestselling novels, Girls’ Weekend and I’m Not Her
