Description
Will buried secrets from a small town’s past help orphans of the opioid crisis build a brighter future? Willa Johnson moved to the Southern Ohio Children’s Home after her mom died of an overdose. The old mansion is a haven for kids in the heart of the epidemic but teeters on the edge of financial ruin. The newest resident is Kacey, a nonbinary teen kicked out by parents who reject their identity. Willa and Kacey bond over the discovery of a hidden set of diaries, unintentionally digging up a dark history that will forever change the kids’ future—for better or worse.

Advance Praise
"Orphanland is a heartwarming novel that explores the impact of the opioid epidemic on children and their families. The story includes meaningful friendships between kids who come from a variety of challenging circumstances, an adorable kitten, and a page-turning mystery involving Willa's caretaker-along with the discovery of old diaries that may contain clues. Willa is easy to root for."
