1987. Thereâ‚¬s only one person who has ever truly understood fourteen-year-old June Elbus, and thatâ‚¬s her uncle, the renowned painter Finn Weiss. Shy at school and distant from her older sister, June can only be herself in Finnâ‚¬s company; he is her godfather, confidant, and best friend. So when he dies, far too young, of a mysterious illness her mother can barely speak about, Juneâ‚¬s world is turned upside down. But Finnâ‚¬s death brings a surprise acquaintance into Juneâ‚¬s lifeâ‚¬"someone who will help her to heal, and to question what she thinks she knows about Finn, her family, and even her own heart.
Â
At Finnâ‚¬s funeral, June notices a strange man lingering just beyond the crowd. A few days later, she receives a package in the mail. Inside is a beautiful teapot she recognizes from Finnâ‚¬s apartment, and a note from Toby, the stranger, asking for an opportunity to meet. As the two begin to spend time together, June realizes sheâ‚¬s not the only one who misses Finn, and if she can bring herself to trust this unexpected friend, he just might be the one she needs the most.
Â
An emotionally charged coming-of-age novel, Tell the Wolves Iâ‚¬m Home is a tender story of love lost and found, an unforgettable portrait of the way compassion can make us whole again.
