Where You’ll Find Us by Jen St. Jude

A stunning YA novel about a trans teen who finds a house where queer kids from across history have found refuge from hatred—and time.

 

Calla Quick has no future. At least, that’s how it feels. Her parents disowned her, and now she can’t afford to go to an all-women’s college with her girlfriend Ramona. But maybe that’s for the best, because lately Calla has been questioning whether she’s a girl at all. Then Calla and Ramona find a mysterious cabin that has been a safe haven for queer kids throughout history, free of hate and time itself. Here, Calla can be Cal and use they/them pronouns. They don’t have to worry about the future because it will never come—until one night, when the clock strikes twelve. Now under a literal ticking clock, the housemates must find a way to stop time again, but as Cal learns everyone’s story, they begin to wonder what queer people lose when their history is lost to time.
