Powerful and immeasurably beautiful. Jen St. Jude’s writing captures what it really means to be human, queer, and completely yourself. Your heart is in safe hands.

Trang Thanh Tran, bestselling author of She Is a Haunting

Where You’ll Find Us shines as both a novel of immense heart and passion, and as the literary safe haven this moment in time so desperately calls for. This book won’t just find you, it will inspire and heal you.

Abdi Nazemian, Stonewall Award–winning author of Like a Love Story

A stunning portrait of queer identity, found family, and the beauty of being alive. A heartfelt novel that both connects us to our past and promises us a future.

Justine Pucella Winans, Stonewall Honor–winning author of The Otherwoods

In this beautifully profound YA novel, a trans teen finds a home where queer kids from all different decades have found refuge from hatred-and from time. 
 
Calla Quick has no future. Her parents disowned her, and now she can’t afford to go to an all-women’s college with her girlfriend Ramona like they planned. But maybe that’s for the best – because recently Calla has been questioning whether she’s a girl at all. 
 
Then Calla and Ramona discover Amaranth – a haven for queer kids throughout history. It's a place free of hate, and time itself. Here, Calla can be Cal. They don’t have to worry about the future, because at Amaranth, it will never come . . . until one night, the clock strikes twelve. 
 
Now, the housemates must find a way to stop time again or face going back to their harsh realities. But as Cal learns everyone’s story, they begin to wonder what queer people lose when their history is lost to time.
