Two timelines, one adoption story

Zinnia Davis knows little about her birth parents, but a resemblance between her own story and a favorite author’s new novel gives her a possible lead as she works on a college admissions essay. In 2006, teenager Tuesday Walker is trying to return to high school after a devastating loss; writing in a journal helps her cope, until it goes missing. The novel moves between the girls’ perspectives and connects Zinnia’s search with Tuesday’s efforts to recover the journal and uncover secrets in her family’s past. Adoption, loss, and the stories passed between generations shape the book’s parallel narrative.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in adoption stories and questions of family identity.
  • Readers who enjoy fiction told across two timelines and linked perspectives.
  • Those interested in stories about grief, personal writing, and family secrets.

Book overview

Clap When You Land meets Monday's Not Coming in this "compelling, introspective" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) novel told in two timelines as one teen searches for her biological mother and the other copes with giving up her baby from the acclaimed author of SLAY.

Two moments in time. Two very different girls. And one story that connects them both.

It's the year 2024, and Zinnia Davis is on a mission to ace her personal essay. But when an admissions rep hints that her adoption story is "lacking heart," she has to figure out a new spin. Frankly, Zinnia doesn't know much about her birth parents; that is, until her favorite author releases a new novel--Little Heart--about a princess with a heart-shaped birthmark on her forehead and separated from her mother at birth...just like Zinnia. Could this be her birth mother?

Flashback to 2006, and teenager Tuesday Walker is barely making it through high school after experiencing a loss that had her on leave for months. To cope, Tuesday writes a series of entries in a journal, but when the journal is lost, it feels like reliving the trauma all over again. Tuesday's search for the journal uncovers dangerous secrets about her past, her crush, and her own mother's story.

If Tuesday isn't careful in her search, Zinnia will have to reap the consequences in the present.
