Making room for herself

Haven Alexander has built an identity around meeting expectations: excelling at school and cross country, volunteering at church, and supporting her older brother, Paul. Her parents’ hopes for her add another pressure, especially around dating. When Daisy King enters her life, the description points to a shift that brings romance, school discipline, and a wider circle of friends into Haven’s world. Paul’s own struggles with parental expectations also give the story a family dimension. Set at Willamette High, the novel brings together coming out, sibling support, community, and the challenge of recognizing one’s own needs alongside other people’s.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in LGBTQ+ coming-of-age fiction
  • Readers seeking a story involving family expectations and sibling support
  • Those interested in school, friendship, and community in a young adult setting

Book overview

Haven Alexander is the whole package: co-captain of Cross Country, excelling at school, volunteering at church, loving and supporting her neurodiverse older brother, Paul, and being-according to her friend (and kind-of crush) Alice-a babe.

Albeit a fresh-faced, basketball shorts and flip flops wearing babe who could carry someone out of a burning building no prob'.

She's never given her parents a moment's anxiety, except for her stubborn refusal to date the boy of their dreams. And riding the motorcycle of hers.

Until unapologetically bold Daisy King, The Derby Queen, hip checks Haven off the treadmill of her parents' sky-high expectations and into a life that includes kitchen kisses, confiscated cell phones, detentions, suspensions, and a posse of friends who embrace Paul.

Who has his own parental expectations to deal with...

Can Haven stop being everybody's haven but her own in this third Willamette High novel about community, coming of age, coming out, and coming to terms with being human?
