Go Home Birdie Brown

Birdie has come too far to go quietly ... A powerful and emotional novel inspired by the Windrush Scandal, for fans of All My Mothers by Joanna Glen and Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez This is a story about being told you don't belong. This is a story about knowing you do.

This is a story about Birdie. Birdie Brown's life is held together by family -- her sharp-witted daughter Carmen, her son Scott who no one mentions, and five grandkids who keep her on her toes. Retirement is bingo nights, babysitting, and TV with her granddaughter Saffie -- until a letter from the Home Office arrives.

It says she's here illegally. That she must return to Jamaica -- a country she hasn't seen since childhood. As the system threatens to erase her, Birdie must confront buried truths and fractured ties.

Can she hold on to the life she built -- and the family that built her?
