The coming of age story of an award-winning translator, Homesick is
about learning to love language in its many forms, healing through
words and the promises and perils of empathy and sisterhood.
Sisters Amy and Zoe grow up in Oklahoma where they are homeschooled
for an unexpected reason: Zoe suffers from debilitating and
mysterious seizures, spending her childhood in hospitals as she
undergoes surgeries. Meanwhile, Amy flourishes intellectually,
showing an innate ability to glean a world beyond the troubles in
her home life, exploring that world through languages first. Amy's
first love appears in the form of her Russian tutor Sasha, but when
she enters university at the age of 15 her life changes drastically
and with tragic results. "Croft moves quickly between powerful
scenes that made me think about my own sisters. I love how the
language displays a child's consciousness. A haunting
accomplishment." Kali Fajardo-Anstine
