"Closer to Nowhere" by Ellen Hopkins tells the poignant story of two sisters, Nic and Jay, who come from a troubled family. When their mother is unable to care for them, the girls are sent to live with their estranged father. This new environment presents challenges as they struggle to bond and navigate their complicated pasts. With themes of resilience, trauma, and the search for belonging, the novel explores how family dynamics and personal histories shape their identities. As the sisters confront their fears, they embark on a journey toward healing and understanding each other. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
