A choice between survival and belonging

Fifteen-year-old Harry is placed in a suburban home run by Amara, among boys who share some of her difficult past. The home offers a glimpse of stability, but Harry’s former gangster, Percy, has put her there as part of a plan whose stakes she only gradually understands. The story’s central tension lies between the life Harry is trying to build and the demands of the life she wants to leave behind. Its young-adult mystery and suspense elements sit alongside questions of trust, belonging, and whether accepting help can be as daunting as facing danger.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in young-adult suspense and mystery.
  • Readers drawn to stories about survival, belonging, and the possibility of change.
  • Those interested in Christian-themed young-adult fiction involving crime and difficult choices.

Book overview

"I LOVE this story so much!!!" ARC Reader

 

"It is so close to my heart given the work I did for all of my teaching career... I hope I had a fraction of the connection with students that Amara had with her kids." ARC Reader

 

Fifteen-year-old Harry is shoved into a car and taken to a suburban home against her will.

 

Inside is a life she has never known: structured, warm, and filled with boys who have walked the same hard roads she has. It's the kind of place that makes you wonder what it would be like to stop running. To stop surviving in the shadows. To stop fighting. To belong.

 

But Harry isn't sent there for a better life. Percy, the gangster she used to steal for, places her there with a plan-one Harry doesn't understand at first, but soon learns could cost her everything.

 

Then there's Amara, the strong-willed woman who runs the home. She might be the first adult who truly sees Harry, who fights for her without asking for anything in return. And that scares Harry more than anything.

 

With one foot in the life she's building, the other trapped in the one she's desperate to escape, Harry has to make a choice: play her part in Percy's plan, or risk everything for a future she isn't sure could ever be hers.

 

Suspenseful and heartfelt, The Other Side of Nothing is a gripping story of survival, redemption, and the courage it takes to fight for the life you deserve.
