The stunning sequel to the award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling verse novel Inside Out & Back Again. It's been two years since Hà and her family arrived in Alabama as refugees from the Vi?t Nam War. They've worked hard to make a life for themselves in America, but it hasn't come easy. Hà has only just begun to feel settled when Mother decides that the family will move to Texas for a new job. Hà knows how hard starting over is and doesn't want to do it again. But sometimes even an unwanted change can bring opportunity, new friends and a place to call home. A lyrical and compelling story of upheaval, growth and love.
